The web management interface in Citrix NetScaler 8.0 build 47.8 uses weak encryption (XOR of unpadded data) to store credentials within a cookie, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain cleartext credentials when a cookie is captured via a known-plaintext attack.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the design and implementation of data confidentiality and integrity. Frequently these deal with the use of encoding techniques, encryption libraries, and hashing algorithms. The weaknesses in this category could lead to a degradation of the quality data if they are not addressed.
