CVE-2000-0244

Summary

CVE-2000-0244 is a cybersecurity vulnerability affecting the Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) protocol. This issue arises due to the use of weak encryption for user authentication, specifically XOR encryption. An attacker who intercepts the traffic during the authentication process could easily obtain the user's credentials by decoding the encrypted data using XOR. The implications of this vulnerability are significant, as it allows unauthorized access to systems that rely on the Citrix ICA protocol for remote access. Organizations using this protocol should upgrade to a more secure version or implement additional security measures, such as enhanced encryption, to mitigate this risk.
