Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) Command Injection
This Metasploit module exploits a command injection vulnerability in the Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) for Ivanti Endpoint Manager. A cookie based code injection vulnerability in the Cloud Services Appliance before 4.6.0-512 allows an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code with limited permissions. Successful exploitation results in command execution as the nobody user.

Rapid7 Metasploit Pro versions 4.21.2 and lower suffer from a stored cross site scripting vulnerability, due to a lack of JavaScript request string sanitization. Using this vulnerability, an authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary HTML and script code in the target browser against another Metasploit Pro user using a specially crafted request. Note that in most deployments, all Metasploit Pro users tend to enjoy privileges equivalent to local administrator.
