Ivanti Virtual Traffic Manager Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
Ivanti · Virtual Traffic Manager
Ivanti Virtual Traffic Manager (vTM) contains an authentication bypass flaw in its authentication algorithm implementation, affecting all versions other than 22.2R1 and 22.7R2. A remote, unauthenticated attacker with network access can bypass authentication to the admin panel, requiring no privileges, no user interaction, and no particular configuration beyond the affected versions.
Incorrect implementation of an authentication algorithm in Ivanti vTM other than versions 22.2R1 or 22.7R2 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication of the admin panel.
