Mitigating Factors

  • Citrix SD-WAN 10.2.6
  • Citrix SD-WAN 11.0.3

Citrix strongly recommends that customers using vulnerable combinations of hardware and software upgrade their appliances to a fixed version or later as soon as possible.

Citrix also recommends that customers either: replace default system certificates by uploading and installing certificates from a reputable Certificate Authority, or regenerate their self-signed certificate. The functionality for both actions can be accessed at: Configuration> Appliance Settings> Administrator Interface> HTTPS Certs in the SD-WAN appliance GUI as described in the Best Practices Guide under section “Secure administrator interface”.
