U.S. cybersecurity agencies have warned that multiple vulnerabilities in Ivanti Connect Secure and Policy Secure appliances have been actively exploited—reportedly by Chinese-linked actors—and that Ivanti’s internal and prior external integrity checker tools can be bypassed, potentially allowing root-level persistence despite factory resets; agencies issued emergency directives to patch or remove affected devices and urged use of the latest external checker while Ivanti contests some findings.
