Bug vulnerability classConfiguration
Bug descriptionCitrix is an add-on for Windows users to remotely connect to a host.This application may be used to gather information about the target or the user. There are also some vulnerabilities available. 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.
Bug solutionDisable the service if it is not needed. Also, make sure that the server is configured to utilize strong encryption and install firewalling to prevent unwanted connections.
