Detection & mitigation playbook

Vendor / appliance

  1. Detect

    Inventory every ivanti connect secure deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above.

  2. Fix

    Apply the ivanti connect secure security patch or hotfix for CVE-2026-111357 on the affected version, following the vendor advisory for your exact build.

  3. Workarounds

    Close the privilege gap rather than the entry point: audit which accounts, roles and service identities can reach the affected operation, drop the component to the least privilege it actually needs, and review file and directory permissions created by earlier installs — a default left in place is what makes this reachable. Alongside that, restrict the management interface to trusted networks and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations.
