Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.10942
Category:Service detection
Title:Citrix Server Detection
Summary:A Citrix server is running on this machine.
Description:Summary:
A Citrix server is running on this machine.

Vulnerability Insight:
Citrix servers allow a Windows user to remotely obtain a
graphical login (and therefore act as a local user on the remote host).

NOTE: by default the Citrix Server application utilizes a weak 40 bit obfuscation algorithm (not
even a true encryption). If the default settings have not been changed, there already exists
tools which can be used to passively ferret userIDs and passwords as they traverse a network.

If this server is located within your DMZ, the risk is substantially higher, as Citrix necessarily
requires access into the internal network for applications like SMB browsing, file sharing, email
synchronization, etc.

If an attacker gains a valid login and password, he may be able to use this service to gain
further access on the remote host or remote network. This protocol has also been shown to be
vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack.

Solution:
Disable this service if you do not use it. Also, make sure
that the server is configured to utilize strong encryption.
