CVE-2021-22914

Cloud environment access via logged secure credentials

Published Jun 16, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Insecure storage in Citrix Cloud Connector before 6.31.0.62192 allows attackers to obtain credentials from installation logs. When secure client parameters are supplied directly to the command-line installer, it writes the sensitive values into installation logs kept on the connector host. The exposed values grant access to the associated Citrix Cloud environment, but interactive and parameter-file installations are not affected.
