An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2023-46805 in the wild since at least 10 Jan 2024, including in ransomware campaigns.\n\nAffected product: Ivanti Connect Secure. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-46805/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-46805/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-46805","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-46805/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-46805","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m2pj-mjhw-x9fm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ivanti ICS/IPS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication controls to access restricted resources in Ivanti ICS and Policy Secure web components.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"connect_secure","vendor":"ivanti"},{"product":"policy_secure","vendor":"ivanti"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"An authentication bypass vulnerability in the web component of Ivanti ICS 9.x, 22.x and Ivanti Policy Secure allows a remote attacker to access restricted resources by bypassing control checks.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2024-01-10","github_poc":9,"max_poc_stars":23,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2024-01-16T19:40:59Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/duy-31/CVE-2023-46805_CVE-2024-21887","stars":23,"title":"An authentication bypass vulnerability in the web component of Ivanti ICS 9.x, 22.x and Ivanti Policy Secure allows a remote attacker to access restricted resources by bypassing control checks."},{"date":"2024-01-19T02:23:13Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Chocapikk/CVE-2023-46805","stars":14,"title":"Ivanti Pulse Secure CVE-2023-46805 Scanner - Based on Assetnote's Research"},{"date":"2024-01-19T02:12:11Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/seajaysec/Ivanti-Connect-Around-Scan","stars":12,"title":"Mitigation validation utility for the Ivanti Connect Around attack chain.
