In short

A flaw in Ivanti Connect Secure lets a logged-in user upload files whose content they control to a location on the server that is easy to predict. Because the file names are predictable, the uploaded files can be found and misused.

Technical detail

Use of predictable filenames (CWE-340) in Ivanti Connect Secure before 25.1.1.3 and 22.8R2.6 allows a remote attacker with valid authentication to write files with attacker-controlled content to a known on-disk location. The precondition is a valid authenticated session on an affected version. Rated MEDIUM (CVSS 4.3).
