DescriptionCVE.org

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

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. …
