Security News > 2020 > January > PoC Exploits Released for Citrix ADC and Gateway RCE Vulnerability
Why the urgency? Earlier today, multiple groups publicly released weaponized proof-of-concept exploit code [1, 2] for a recently disclosed remote code execution vulnerability in Citrix's NetScaler ADC and Gateway products that could allow anyone to leverage them to take full control over potential enterprise targets.
Just before the last Christmas and year-end holidays, Citrix announced that its Citrix Application Delivery Controller and Citrix Gateway are vulnerable to a critical path traversal flaw that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to perform arbitrary code execution on vulnerable servers.
Citrix confirmed that the flaw affects all supported version of the software, including:Citrix ADC and Citrix Gateway version 13.0 all supported builds.
Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway version 10.5 all supported builds.
According to Shodan, at the time of writing, there are over 125,400 Citrix ADC or Gateway servers publicly accessible and can be exploited overnight if not taken offline or protected using available mitigation.
