Citrix disclosed eight vulnerabilities in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway, and CISA added two of them to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue. Both are critical zero-days that can each enable remote code execution on their own, and CISA says partner intelligence confirms active exploitation.
Our take, in short
If you terminate remote access or load balancing on NetScaler, stop reading the rest of this email and go check your version. Beyond the immediate patching, a KEV listing has a second life in your sales cycle, because enterprise questionnaires increasingly ask how fast you remediate KEV-listed issues and ask you to prove it with ticket history.
