Vulnerability Type: | |
User Enumeration | |
Vulnerability Impact: | |
Information Disclosure | |
Attack Vector: | |
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker can use brute force methods | |
to determine whether or not a list of users exists on the affected | |
server by monitoring the HTTP responses returned by the server; the | |
HTTP responses differ substantially between valid and invalid users. | |
Description: | |
** VERSION NOT SUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** Citrix XenApp 6.5, when 2FA | |
is enabled, allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to ascertain | |
whether a user exists on the server, because the 2FA error page only | |
occurs after a valid username is entered. | |
Additional Information: | |
Two-factor authentication must be enabled in Citrix XenApp 6.5 for | |
this vulnerability to be exploited. When a valid user is entered into | |
the login page (with an invalid password), the server returns a | |
two-factor authentication error page. When a nonexistent user is entered, | |
the page does not change. Users on the server can be enumerated with | |
complete confidence by monitoring which users trigger the two-factor | |
authentication error page, and which do not. | |
This vulnerability was disclosed to Citrix on 04/30/2020. Citrix | |
responded that XenApp version 6.5 has reached its End of Life (EOL) | |
and will not be receiving a patch. Users are recommended to upgrade | |
to resolve this vulnerability. | |
