HighCVSS 8.8KEVSummary
A command injection vulnerability exists in Pulse Connect Secure before 9.1R11.4 allows a remote authenticated attacker to perform remote code execution via Windows Resource Profiles Feature.
Risk Assessment
An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code on the device, leading to full VPN system compromise and potential internal network access.
Recommendation
Update Pulse Connect Secure to version 9.1R11.4 or later and review privileged accounts.
Other vulnerabilities in Pulse Connect Secure
See all- CVE-2017-11196High
Pulse Connect Secure 8.3R1 has a CSRF vulnerability in logout.cgi. The logout function of the admin panel is not protected by any CSRF tokens, allowing an attacker to log out a user by tricking them into visiting a malicious web page.
- CVE-2017-11193High
Pulse Connect Secure 8.3R1 has a CSRF vulnerability in the diag.cgi file, which allows commands like ping, traceroute, and nslookup to be executed. The lack of CSRF protections enables an attacker to run these commands against any IP if they can trick an admin into visiting their malicious page.
- CVE-2016-4786High
Pulse Connect Secure (PCS) versions 8.2 before 8.2r1, 8.1 before 8.1r3, 8.0 before 8.0r11, and 7.4 before 7.4r13.4 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via unspecified vectors.
- CVE-2021-22900HighActively exploited
A vulnerability allowed multiple unrestricted uploads in Pulse Connect Secure before 9.1R11.4 that could lead to an authenticated administrator to perform a file write via a maliciously crafted archive upload in the administrator web interface.
