Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS), Ivanti Policy…: Incorrect Calculation
CVE-2022-35258 is a high-severity incorrect calculation vulnerability in Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS), Ivanti Policy Secure (IPS), and Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access Gateway, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 2.73% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 86% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Connect Secure to 9.1 or a later version.
- Update Policy Secure to 9.1 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

The underlying weakness: Incorrect Calculation
The product performs a calculation that generates incorrect or unintended results that are later used in security-critical decisions or resource management.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Understand your programming language's underlying representation and how it interacts with numeric calculation. Pay close attention to byte size discrepancies, precision, signed/unsigned distinctions, truncation, conversion and casting between types, not-a-number calculations, and how your language handles numbers that are too large or too small for its underlying representation.
- Perform input validation on any numeric input by ensuring that it is within the expected range. Enforce that the input meets both the minimum and maximum requirements for the expected range.
- Use the appropriate type for the desired action. For example, in C/C++, only use unsigned types for values that could never be negative, such as height, width, or other numbers related to quantity.
