CVE-2024-29847 Deep Dive: Ivanti Endpoint Manager AgentPortal Deserialization of Untrusted Data Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Introduction Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) is an enterprise endpoint management solution that allows for centralized management of devices within an organization. On September 12th, 2024, ZDI and Ivanti released an advisory describing a deserialization vulnerability resulting in remote code execution with a CVSS score of 9.8. In this post we detail the internal workings of this vulnerability. Our POC can be found here. We would like to credit @SinSinology with the discovery of this vulnerability. AgentPortal The ZDI advisory told us exactly where to look for the vulnerability. A service named AgentPortal. A quick search shows us that we can find the file at C:\Program Files\LanDesk\ManagementSuite\AgentPortal.exe. Upon further investigation, we find that it is a .NET binary. After loading AgentPortal.exe into JetBrains dotPeek for decompilation, we find that its not a very complicated program. It’s main responsibility is creating a .NET Remoting service for the IAgentPortal interface. IAgentPortal Interface The IAgentPortal interface is pretty simple, it consists of functions to create Requests and other functions to get the results and check the status of those requests. Digging into what kind of requests we can make, we find the ActionEnum enum. We are immediately drawn to the RunProgram option. The handler […]

Friends don’t let friends reuse nonces
By Joe Doyle If you’ve encountered cryptography software, you’ve probably heard the advice to never use a nonce twice—in fact, that’s where the word nonce (number used once) comes from. Depending on the cryptography involved, a reused nonce can reveal encrypted messages, or even leak your secret key! But common knowledge may not cover every […]

Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 09/13/24
Insight #1
Where should a CISO focus — on immediate threats, or on long-term security? The answer is “both.” A comprehensive cybersecurity strategy necessitates that CISOs allocate resources and planning for both immediate threats and long-term security posture enhancements. An unbalanced approach, favoring one over the other, often leads to heightened stress, inefficient operations, diminished performance metrics and an increased vulnerability to breaches.
Insight #2
While the traditional concept of security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) might be diminished (
per Gartner), the criticality of security automation remains undisputed. Security teams are intensifying their efforts to automate threat detection and incident response tasks to combat the escalating complexity and volume of modern cyberattacks. Insight #3 The exploitation of human trust is a
timeless tactic employed by attackers. The shift toward remote work and technological advancements have not altered this fundamental truth; they've merely provided attackers with more sophisticated tools and more avenues to identify and manipulate their targets.
