CVE-2024-8068

Citrix Session Recording contains an improper privilege management vulnerability that could allow for privilege escalation to NetworkService Account access. An attacker must be an authenticated user in the same Windows Active Directory domain as the session recording server domain.

What this means for your business

It affects Citrix Session Recording. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
Attackers are already using it. CISA added it to its list of flaws used in real attacks on 25 August 2025.
FIRST's prediction model gives it a 1% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 71% of all known flaws.

What to do

1Check whether your company or your suppliers run Citrix Session Recording.
2If you do, follow CISA's required action below. No patch reference has been published yet.
3Treat it as urgent. US federal agencies must fix it by 15 September 2025. That deadline does not apply to private companies, but it shows how seriously CISA takes it.
4Because attackers have used it, check the affected systems for signs of a break-in, not only for the update.
