# Vulnerability: Ivanti Workspace Control Hardcoded Key Flaws Expose SQL Credentials
## CVE Details
- CVE ID: Not explicitly provided in the text for the Workspace Control flaw.
- CVSS Score: Not explicitly provided.
- CWE: Hardcoded Credentials (Inferred from description)
## Affected Systems
- Products: Ivanti Workspace Control (formerly RES ONE Workspace and VDX)
- Versions: Versions prior to the applied patch are vulnerable. (Exact vulnerable version range not specified.)
- Configurations: Applicable to installations using the affected product versions.
## Vulnerability Description
The vulnerability involves hardcoded keys within Ivanti Workspace Control that expose credentials necessary to access the underlying Microsoft SQL database. An attacker who can access the local system where Workspace Control is installed could potentially use these embedded credentials to gain unauthorized access to the configured SQL database.
## Exploitation
- Status: The article mentions this topic in the context of general Ivanti vulnerabilities but does not explicitly state the exploitation status or PoC availability **for this specific SQL credential flaw**.
- Complexity: Undetermined (Likely local access required to extract hardcoded keys).
- Attack Vector: Local (Access to the server hosting Workspace Control seems prerequisite to exploit).
## Impact
- Confidentiality: High (Exposure of SQL credentials leads to potential access to sensitive application and configuration data stored in the SQL database).
- Integrity: High (Unauthorized modification of database contents).
- Availability: Medium/High (Potential for disruption or unauthorized configuration changes).
## Remediation
### Patches
- Specific patch details for the hardcoded key flaw in Workspace Control are not detailed in the provided text sample. Users should consult the latest Ivanti advisories for the specific version update addressing this issue.
### Workarounds
- No specific workarounds are mentioned in the provided text.
## Detection
- Detection methods specific to the hardcoded key extraction are not detailed.
- General detection would focus on unexpected SQL connection attempts or privilege escalation attempts against the database server configured for Workspace Control.
