VDI vulnerabilities

  Cross-site scripting (XSS)

Improper access control in Zoom Desktop Client for Windows, Zoom VDI Client for Windows, and Zoom SDKs for Windows before version 5.16.10 may allow an authenticated user to conduct an escalation of privilege via local access.

Sensitive information disclosure in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway when configured as a Gateway (VPN virtual server, ICA Proxy, CVPN, RDP Proxy) or AAA  virtual server.

Improper neutralization of special elements in Zoom Desktop Client for Windows and Zoom VDI Client before 5.15.2 may allow an unauthenticated user to enable an escalation of privilege via network access.

Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Unauthenticated remote code execution

A vulnerability has been identified in Citrix Workspace app for Linux that, if exploited, may result in a malicious local user being able to gain access to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops session of another user who is using the same computer from which the ICA session is launched.

Vulnerabilities have been identified that, collectively, allow a standard Windows user to perform operations as SYSTEM on the computer running Citrix Workspace app.

A malicious user can cause log files to be written to a directory that they do not have permission to write to.

A vulnerability has been identified that, if exploited, could result in a local user elevating their privilege level to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Windows VDA.

Unauthenticated remote arbitrary code execution

The Zoom Client for Meetings (for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows) before version 5.12.6 is susceptible to a local information exposure vulnerability. A failure to clear data from a local SQL database after a meeting ends and the usage of an insufficiently secure per-device key encrypting that database results in a local malicious user being able to obtain meeting information such as in-meeting chat for the previous meeting attended from that local user account.

Remote desktop takeover via phishing

VMware Workspace ONE Access and Identity Manager contain a privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious actor with local access can escalate privileges to 'root'.

VMware Workspace ONE Access, Identity Manager and vRealize Automation contain an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting local domain users. A malicious actor with network access to the UI may be able to obtain administrative access without the need to authenticate.

The Zoom Client for Meetings for Windows prior to version 5.9.7, Zoom Rooms for Conference Room for Windows prior to version 5.10.0, Zoom Plugins for Microsoft Outlook for Windows prior to version 5.10.3, and Zoom VDI Windows Meeting Clients prior to version 5.9.6; was susceptible to a local privilege escalation issue during the installer repair operation. A malicious actor could utilize this to potentially delete system level files or folders, causing integrity or availability issues on the user’s host machine.

VMware Horizon Agent for Linux (prior to 22.x) contains a local privilege escalation that allows a user to escalate to root due to a vulnerable configuration file.

Remote Desktop Client Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

VMware Workspace ONE UEM console 20.0.8 prior to 20.0.8.37, 20.11.0 prior to 20.11.0.40, 21.2.0 prior to 21.2.0.27, and 21.5.0 prior to 21.5.0.37 contain an SSRF vulnerability. This issue may allow a malicious actor with network access to UEM to send their requests without authentication and to gain access to sensitive information.

Apache Log4j2 2.0-beta9 through 2.15.0 (excluding security releases 2.12.2, 2.12.3, and 2.3.1) JNDI features used in configuration, log messages, and parameters do not protect against attacker controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints. An attacker who can control log messages or log message parameters can execute arbitrary code loaded from LDAP servers when message lookup substitution is enabled. From log4j 2.15.0, this behavior has been disabled by default. From version 2.16.0 (along with 2.12.2, 2.12.3, and 2.3.1), this functionality has been completely removed. Note that this vulnerability is specific to log4j-core and does not affect log4net, log4cxx, or other Apache Logging Services projects.
