Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Privilege Escalation (CTX678035)

high Nessus Plugin ID 202305

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2402, 1912 LTSR CU9 or 2203 LTSR CU5. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability. By exploiting this vulnerability, a local, low-privileged attacker could gain SYSTEM privileges.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to 2402, 2402 LTSR, 1912 LTSR CU9, 2203 LTSR CU5 or later.
