CVE-2016-9111
Incorrect access control mechanisms in Citrix Receiver Desktop Lock 4.5 allow an attacker to bypass the authentication requirement by leveraging physical access to a VDI for temporary disconnection of a LAN cable.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.78%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
