Citrix and NetScaler SD-WAN Center Unauthenticated Directory Traversal File Write

critical Nessus Plugin ID 132102

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is susceptible to directory traversal with write capability by a remote, unauthenticated attacker.

Description

The remote Citrix SD-WAN Center or NetScaler SD-WAN Center is susceptible to directory traversal and file writes in arbitrary locations. This is due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input in the applianceSettingsFileTransfer action of ApplianceSettingsController. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by routing traffic through the Collector controller and supplying crafted values for 'filename', 'filedata', and 'workspace_id'. This allows writing files to locations writable by the 'www-data' user, as well as writing crafted PHP files to /home/talariuser/www/app/webroot/files/ to execute arbitrary PHP code.

Solution

Upgrade to Citrix SD-WAN Center version 10.2.3 or later or NetScaler SD-WAN Center version 10.0.8 or later.
