Citrix XenDesktop Virtual Desktop Agent (VDA) 5.6.x before 5.6.200, when making changes to the server-side policy that control USB redirection, does not propagate changes to the VDA, which allows authenticated users to retain access to the USB device.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue can leave USB device access in place after administrators change server-side USB redirection policy in Citrix XenDesktop VDA 5.6.x before 5.6.200. An authenticated user may keep access that policy intended to remove. The main concern is control bypass in virtual desktop environments, not unauthenticated compromise. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Citrix XenDesktop deployments running VDA 5.6.x before 5.6.200 with USB redirection enabled or managed through server-side policy. Modern or upgraded environments may not be affected, but the provided source bundle does not enumerate all supported product lines. Treat this as a targeted legacy platform control issue. Prioritize if virtual desktops handle sensitive data or USB redirection is used broadly. It does not appear to be internet-scale or actively exploited based on provided sources, but it can undermine policy enforcement and data-control assumptions. Mitigation focus: Inventory Citrix XenDesktop VDA versions across virtual desktop pools.; Review Citrix CTX135813 for vendor-confirmed remediation guidance.; Upgrade affected VDA 5.6.x systems to 5.6.200 or a supported fixed release..
