CVE-2024-8068 is an improper privilege management vulnerability in Citrix Session Recording. A user authenticated in the same Windows Active Directory domain as the Session Recording server can escalate privileges to the Windows NetworkService account. Affected releases include Citrix Session Recording versions prior to the vendor hotfixes for the 2407 Current Release, 1912 LTSR CU9, 2203 LTSR CU5, and 2402 LTSR CU1 release lines.

Small repository containing a single functional Python exploit plus documentation. The core file, Citrix-Virtual-Apps-XEN-Exploit-watchtowrlabs/exploit-citrix-xen.py, is a standalone unauthenticated RCE proof-of-concept targeting Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops / Session Recording infrastructure over MSMQ-over-HTTP. It accepts --target, --cmd, and optional --port arguments, builds a multipart/related HTTP POST request, embeds a SOAP envelope referencing the private queue CitrixSmAudEventData, and appends a large serialized .NET binary payload. The payload includes indicators of gadget-based .NET deserialization abuse and references System.Diagnostics.Process.Start, enabling execution of an operator-supplied command prefixed with '/c '. Networking is implemented directly with Python's socket module, and the script only sends the payload then exits; it does not provide an interactive shell, response parsing, or reliability features. Repository structure is minimal: one exploit script, a nested README describing usage and affected versions, a top-level README that mainly serves as a collection wrapper/credit page, and a license. Overall, this is an operational PoC for unauthenticated remote command execution against exposed vulnerable Citrix MSMQ endpoints.
