Vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Citrix NetScaler Gateway.
This issue affects ADC: before 14.1-73.37, before 13.1-64.23, before 14.1-73.37 FIPS, and before 13.1.37.279 FIPS and NDcPP; Gateway: before 14.1-73.37 and before 13.1-64.23 leading to Remote Code Execution or Denial of Service
Articles & Coverage 2
AnalysisAI
Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway deployments running builds prior to 14.1-73.37 or 13.1-64.23 (including the corresponding FIPS and NDcPP builds 14.1-73.37 FIPS and 13.1.37.279 FIPS/NDcPP) can be driven by an unauthenticated remote attacker to achieve remote code execution or cause a denial-of-service condition. Per the available CVSS 4.0 vector the attack is network-reachable with no privileges or user interaction required, but Attack Complexity is High, meaning the attacker must first satisfy a specific, non-default precondition or timing/state condition rather than issuing a single trivial request. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitable remotely by an unauthenticated attacker (PR:N, UI:N) against network-reachable NetScaler ADC or Gateway instances running builds before 14.1-73.37, before 13.1-64.23, or the corresponding FIPS/NDcPP builds (14.1-73.37 FIPS, 13.1.37.279 FIPS/NDcPP). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This carries a vendor CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.5 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H): network-reachable, unauthenticated (PR:N), no user interaction, with full high impact to both the vulnerable system and subsequent systems, and an outcome of Remote Code Execution or Denial of Service. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to NetScaler ADC 14.1-73.37 or 13.1-64.23 (or later), and NetScaler Gateway 14.1-73.37 or 13.1-64.23 (or later); FIPS and NDcPP deployments must move to 14.1-73.37 FIPS or 13.1.37.279 FIPS/NDcPP respectively, following Citrix's published upgrade procedure for HA pairs and clusters to avoid an outage during failover. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway deployments, including FIPS and NDcPP builds, and verify versions against the vulnerable builds (prior to 14.1-73.37 or 13.1-64.23); immediately restrict network access to these appliances to trusted IP ranges and enable enhanced logging and monitoring for anomalous activity. …
