Yes, that can be particularly dangerous. From there you can launch the
explorer shell to get a full desktop and everything with System
privileges.

Or this command string, which will pop up a second command window, but
with 'system' privileges.

A discussion of this nature started a while back where someone noted
that you could if giving regular user rights on a Citrix terminal
still browse the network for shares.
Right click your desktop, select new shortcut and browse to
system32/cmd.exe get a list of host name and available shares.
Then open up MS word and create a link to the share, click on it then
you are browsing the share, or network place in question, in some
cases you can even browse the underlining Citrix server that you are
connected too, or create a folder and copy anything to it.

Once you're in Notepad, File->Open, browse to Windows/system32, find
cmd.exe right click and open and you have a command prompt on the box.
Of course, your could specify any UNC and get a file to load from
wherever you want. Not sure what the actual run permissions would
be....

Dear all,
I'm not shure if the following issue is already known or exciting,
nevertheless the following attack vector found during a penetration
test might be interesting:
A customer has built a Citrix environment for a partner company to
provide access to a specific application. This application was
intended to be the only application accessible for this partner. It
was possible to get a remote task manager with CRTL-F3, but no other
way of interacting with the Citrix Server (e.g. through printing or
so).
Unfortunately they have integrated Microsoft's calculator into the
application. A bad idea - guess why ;-).
Using the calculator you are able to do funny stuff: Open the
calculator and click "info". Klick on the licence agreement and here
you go, you have got an editor. With this you can use "open file" and
browse the server, find for example Word and rightclick on "Open" -
Word is running, and all other applications which you like as well ...
I think this can easily be fixed using more restrictive file
permissions, but I thought maybe some of you might find this
information useful.
Stefan
