Citrix’s NetScaler Nightmare: Unpatched Flaws Exploited by Hackers Before Fixes Arrive
Citrix has finally patched three fresh NetScaler vulnerabilities, but not before attackers had a field day exploiting them. The main culprit? A pre-auth remote code execution bug known as CVE-2025-7775. Now, Citrix urges users to patch or face the wrath of cyber miscreants. Will they listen, or is this just another episode of “Patch or Perish”?
Hot Take:
Citrix is playing a dangerous game of whack-a-mole with its NetScaler appliances, and it’s losing. While Citrix is busy patching holes, cybercriminals are already inside, rearranging the furniture and leaving sticky notes. Maybe it’s time for Citrix to hire these hackers – they’re clearly the ones who know their systems best!
Key Points:
