How to fix
No fix available - end of life
This product no longer receives security updates. CISA advises disconnecting affected systems if still in use.
CISA required action: As Ivanti CSA has reached End-of-Life status, users are urged to remove CSA 4.6.x from service or upgrade to the 5.0.x line of supported solutions, as future vulnerabilities on the 4.6.x version of CSA are unlikely to receive security updates.
