Summary

CITRIX Metaframe 1.8 logs the Client Address (IP address) provided by the client instead of obtaining it from the packet headers. This allows clients to spoof their public IP address, e.g. through Network Address Translation (NAT).

Risk Assessment

IP address spoofing can lead to unauthorized access and complicate the identification of attack sources, posing a serious security threat to the organization.

Recommendation

It is recommended to configure the system to obtain the IP address from packet headers, which will minimize the risk of IP address spoofing by clients.
