Researchers wrote this one up at <https://www.gosecure.net/blog/2020/08/26/forget-your-perimeter-rce-in-pulse-connect-secure/>.
In CVE-2020-15408, I was musing about SSRF-to-RCE potential as a normal user, but this just skips right to CSRFโing an admin to get RCE.
Note that both these vulns involve interacting with an authenticated user. The โthreat modelโ is different from that of previous Pulse Secure RCEs. Patch this but also invest in security training for your users!
ETA: This is otherwise post-auth RCE, so if you have admin creds, you can execute commands all the same. Itโs not uncommon to find creds like these in a corporate wiki or share somewhere.
