NVD · unedited
Privilege escalation to NetworkService Account access in Citrix Session Recording when an attacker is an authenticated user in the same Windows Active Directory domain as the session recording server domain

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Citrix Session Recording contains a privilege escalation vulnerability where an authenticated user in the same Windows Active Directory domain as the session recording server can gain NetworkService Account access, potentially allowing the attacker to perform actions with elevated privileges on the recorded sessions or underlying system.

MitigationRestrict authenticated user access to the Citrix Session Recording server domain following least-privilege principles; apply vendor patches when available; consider network segmentation to limit exposure from compromised domain accounts.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if Citrix Session Recording is installed
    Check Windows Programs and Features for 'Citrix Session Recording' or query the registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for entries containing 'Citrix Session Recording'
    Affected if The product is found installed on the system
  2. Determine installed version of Citrix Session Recording
    Run 'Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*Session Recording*"} | Select-Object Name, Version' or check the version in the registry under the product's uninstall key
    Affected if The installed version matches 1912, 2203, 2402, 2407, or any version earlier than 2407 (e.g., 7.x, 19.x, 20.x, 21.x, 22.x, 23.x, 24.x before 2407)
  3. Verify the Session Recording service is running
    Open Services console and check for 'Citrix Session Recording' service, or run 'Get-Service -Name *Session*Recording*' via PowerShell
    Affected if The Citrix Session Recording service is in a Running state, exposing the vulnerable component
  4. Check user group membership on the server
    Run 'whoami /groups' or check Active Directory users and computers to see if non-privileged domain users have access to the session recording server
    Affected if The server is joined to a Windows Active Directory domain and allows authenticated domain users access to the session recording functionality
  5. Inspect session recording component permissions
    Examine NTFS permissions and share permissions on the Session Recording installation directory (typically under C:\Program Files\Citrix\SessionRecording) and verify which AD users or groups have read/write access
    Affected if Authenticated domain users have elevated permissions to session recording files or configuration that should be restricted to administrators only

You are affected if Citrix Session Recording is installed with version 1912, 2203, 2402, 2407 or any earlier version, the service is running, and the server is part of an Active Directory domain with non-privileged authenticated users having access.
