CISA orders feds to patch Citrix NetScaler RCE flaw by Saturday

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has mandated that U.S. government entities apply patches to their Citrix NetScaler devices to address a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability. This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, posing a critical threat to affected systems. However, detailed technical information, including exact affected versions and patch availability, is not provided in the source data.

The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable Citrix NetScaler appliances, potentially leading to full system compromise. Given the active exploitation and the nature of the vulnerability, impacted systems are at high risk of unauthorized access and control.

CISA has ordered immediate patching of the affected Citrix NetScaler appliances. Organizations should follow CISA's directive and apply the official patches as soon as possible. Since no specific patch information is provided here, consult Citrix's official advisories and CISA communications for detailed remediation steps. Patch status is not yet confirmed in this data; verify current guidance from the vendor and CISA.
