Title: Citrix ICA Client Automatic Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Severity: CRITICAL

Description:

Citrix ICA is a protocol used for remote application serving of terminal based applications.

When the ICA client is installed on a Windows machine, it is associated with the .ICA file extension. Whenever an ICA file is referenced within a web page, the client machine will connect to the published application and execute it, without prompting the user.

Links concealed on pages, for example with hidden frames, could result in arbitrary code being executed on the client machine without the knowledge of the user. References could also be included in HTML encoded email viewed with Outlook, possibly leading to an exploit based on viewing or previewing email.

Affected Products:

  • Citrix ICA Client for Windows 6.1.0
