Citrix and Git Security Flaws: A Comedy of Errors in Cybersecurity!
CISA has added three security flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog: two in Citrix Session Recording and one in Git. These vulnerabilities, ranging from privilege escalation to arbitrary code execution, are being actively exploited. Federal agencies must apply necessary fixes by September 2025 to avoid unwelcome cyber guests.
Hot Take:
Oh, Git outta here! Just when you thought your Citrix Session Recording was safe, hackers are already recording their victory dance. CISA’s KEV catalog is starting to look like the cybersecurity version of a “Wanted” poster, and Citrix and Git are the latest sheriffs in town with a bounty on their heads. But don’t worry, because with good ol’ patchwork and a sprinkle of mitigation magic, we’ll turn this spaghetti western into a cyber fairytale — at least until the next exploit comes riding into town!
Key Points:
- Three vulnerabilities have been added to CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list.
- Citrix Session Recording vulnerabilities allow privilege escalation and remote code execution.
- Git’s vulnerability involves improper handling of carriage return characters leading to arbitrary code execution.
- Citrix patched its vulnerabilities in November 2024; Git addressed its issue in July 2024.
- FCEB agencies must apply mitigations by September 15, 2025, to prevent active threats.
