Description of Problem
A vulnerability has been identified in Citrix Cloud Connector that may result
in sensitive information being stored in the Citrix Cloud Connector
installation log files which, if exploited, could allow access to a customer's
Citrix Cloud environment.
+--------------+---------------+---------------+------------------------------+
|CVE ID |Description |Vulnerability |Pre-conditions |
| | |Type | |
+--------------+---------------+---------------+------------------------------+
| |Sensitive |CWE-922: |Citrix Cloud connector must |

|CVE-2021-22914|stored in |Storage of |parameters to the command line|
| |installation |Sensitive |installer. |
| |logs |Information | |
+--------------+---------------+---------------+------------------------------+
This issue affects all versions of Citrix Cloud Connector which were installed
by passing secure client parameters for installation via the command line. The
issue does not affect Citrix Cloud Connector if it was installed using the
interactive installer or where a parameter file was used with the command-line
installer.
Mitigating Factors
As documented at https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-cloud/
citrix-cloud-resource-locations/citrix-cloud-connector/installation.html ,
installation log files are saved to the host running Citrix Cloud Connector
during installation. If customers have followed Citrix recommendation to use a
dedicated machine to run Citrix Cloud Connector, access to the installation
logs may therefore be restricted.
What Customers Should Do
Impacted customers are recommended to delete any Secure Clients from their
Citrix Cloud portal which have previously been used for command line
installation. Customers are also recommended to review the installation
documentation at https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-cloud/
citrix-cloud-resource-locations/citrix-cloud-connector/installation.html for
any future installation of Citrix Cloud Connector as this information has been
recently updated.
