Hackers begin mass-exploiting Ivanti VPN zero-day flaws


Security researchers say they have evidence that thousands of companies have been hacked by way of two zero-day flaws in Ivanti VPNs.

That’s according to cybersecurity company Volexity, which first reported last week that China state-backed hackers are exploiting the two unpatched flaws in Ivanti Connect Secure — tracked as CVE-2023-46805 and CVE-2024-21887 — to break into customer networks and steal information. In a statement provided via public relations agency MikeWorldWide, Ivanti told TechCrunch that it has “seen a sharp increase in threat actor activity and security researcher scans.” When reached Tuesday, Volexity’s spokesperson Kristel Faris told TechCrunch that the security firm is in contact with Ivanti, which is “responding to an increase in support requests as quickly as possible.”
