Citrix NetScaler SOAP Handler Remote Code Execution

Citrix NetScaler SOAP Handler Remote Code Execution
Posted Nov 6, 2014
Authored by juan vazquez, Bradley Austin | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability on the Citrix NetScaler Appliance. The vulnerability exists in the SOAP handler, accessible through the web interface. A malicious SOAP requests can force the handler to connect to a malicious NetScaler config server. This malicious config server can send a specially crafted response in order to trigger a memory corruption and overwrite data in the stack, to finally execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the web server running the SOAP handler. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on the NetScaler Virtual Appliance 450010.
