As part of the endpoint validation, the ActiveX control for Internet Explorer downloads and executes a series of executable modules from the remote server. Details: Researchers identified that the endpoint checking control can be embedded in any web page and subverted to download and execute any executable module of the attacker?s choosing. This vulnerability represents a design flaw in the architecture of the endpoint validation practice. A high level of browser trust is required to allow the endpoint checks to function correctly, and the control is signed by Citrix Corporation. Vendor Response: This has been addressed by a product update. See http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX113815 Recommendation: Apply the product update as detailed in http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX113815 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Information: The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the following names to these issues.
