CVE-2025-0292
📋 TL;DR
This SSRF vulnerability in Ivanti Connect Secure and Policy Secure allows authenticated administrators to make requests to internal network services from the vulnerable appliance. Attackers with admin credentials can potentially access sensitive internal systems that should not be exposed. Organizations running affected versions of these Ivanti products are at risk.
💻 Affected Systems
- Ivanti Connect Secure
- Ivanti Policy Secure
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
An attacker with compromised admin credentials could pivot through the Ivanti appliance to access internal services, potentially reaching sensitive systems like databases, management interfaces, or cloud metadata services, leading to data exfiltration or further network compromise.
Likely Case
An attacker with legitimate or stolen admin credentials probes internal network services to map infrastructure, potentially accessing internal web applications or APIs that weren't intended to be exposed externally.
If Mitigated
With proper network segmentation and admin credential protection, the impact is limited to accessing only those internal services reachable from the Ivanti appliance's network segment.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires admin credentials but the SSRF mechanism itself is straightforward once authenticated.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Connect Secure 22.7R2.8 or later, Policy Secure 22.7R1.5 or later

Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Download the appropriate patch from Ivanti support portal. 2. Backup current configuration. 3. Apply patch via admin interface. 4. Reboot appliance. 5. Verify version update.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict Admin Access
allLimit admin account access to trusted IP addresses only
Configure admin access controls in Ivanti admin interface to restrict source IPs
Network Segmentation
allIsolate Ivanti appliances from sensitive internal networks
Configure firewall rules to limit Ivanti appliance network access to only required services
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to limit what internal services the Ivanti appliance can reach
- Enforce strong authentication and monitoring for admin accounts, consider MFA if supported
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check current version in Ivanti admin interface under System > Maintenance > Version InformationCheck Version:
ssh admin@ivanti-appliance 'show version' or check via web admin interfaceVerify Fix Applied:
