The Threat:
Citrix has updated their security bulletin with important new information. Please see the What You Should Do About It section below.
The eSentire Security Operations Center (SOC) has observed a behavior change in the active exploitation of Citrix’s vulnerability. This vulnerability is actively being used by threat groups to weaponize for other malicious purposes, in particular, targeting data to exfiltrate. This is in addition to the delivery of cryptocurrency mining malware, as we notified on January 13, 2020.
The SOC is actively responding to and effectively containing multiple incidents of vulnerable Citrix appliances. Given the expected two-week lag time between current events and formal patch releases from Citrix, and the lack of adoption of Citrix’s recommended mitigations, our cyber security experts are the most effective defense at this time.
