Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CVE-2025-55148 vulnerability affects multiple Ivanti security products. A security oversight allows authenticated users with read-only admin privileges to configure restricted settings. This vulnerability could potentially lead to system compromise or data leakage, making it a significant threat to organizations using the affected products.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-55148
\nSeverity: High (CVSS: 7.6)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: Required
\nImpact: System compromise, Data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Ivanti Connect Secure | Before 22.7R2.9 or 22.8R2
\nIvanti Policy Secure | Before 22.7R1.6
\nIvanti ZTA Gateway | Before 2.8R2.3-723
\nIvanti Neurons for Secure Access | Before 22.8R1.4<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

An attacker with authenticated read-only admin access could exploit this vulnerability by sending specific configuration requests to the server. As the system does not properly enforce authorization checks for these requests, the attacker can modify settings that should be restricted.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a hypothetical example of how an attacker might use a HTTP request to exploit the vulnerability:<\/p>\n

POST \/restricted\/settings\/configure HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json\nAuthorization: Bearer read-only-admin-token\n{ \"restricted_setting\": \"new_value\" }<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the attacker sends a POST request to the restricted settings configuration endpoint, attempting to change a restricted setting to a new value. Despite having only read-only admin privileges, the server accepts and applies the new configuration due to the vulnerability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
