What is NetScaler Gateway?
Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability 2025-07-10 Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability due to insufficient input validation. This vulnerability can lead to memory overread when the NetScaler is configured as a Gateway (VPN virtual server, ICA Proxy, CVPN, RDP Proxy) OR AAA virtual server.
NetScaler Gateway gives staff remote access to office apps and desktops through a sign-in page on the internet.
Why does it matter?
Organizations should be aware that patching does not necessarily remove access to their system from threat actors who compromised the device while it was still vulnerable.
CISA added the flaw to its catalog of exploited flaws on 10 July 2025. CISA says it affects NetScaler set up as a Gateway, including VPN, ICA Proxy and RDP Proxy, or as an AAA virtual server.
What do I do about it?
- Install Citrix's fixed NetScaler build.
- Replace NetScaler versions 12.1 and 13.0, which no longer get fixes.
- Look for signs of past access, as the Cyber Centre recommends.
