What is CVE-2025-5777?
CVE-2025-5777 is a critical vulnerability identified in the NetScaler Management Interface, a product developed by Citrix that serves as an essential component for managing networking configurations, including secure gateway access for various applications. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation, which can lead to memory overread vulnerabilities when the NetScaler is configured as either a Gateway, such as for VPN or RDP Proxy services, or an AAA virtual server. This type of flaw poses significant risks as it could enable attackers to extract sensitive information from the memory, leading to potential exploitation of the system and unauthorized access to critical data, impacting the overall integrity and security of an organization’s network environment.
Potential impact of CVE-2025-5777
-
Data Exposure: The memory overread vulnerability can expose sensitive data stored in memory, including authentication tokens, passwords, or other confidential information, leading to a higher risk of data breaches.
-
Unauthorized Access: Exploiting this vulnerability may allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to the network and its resources, potentially compromising sensitive applications and data protected by the NetScaler interface.
-
System Compromise: The ability to read memory contents may enable attackers to execute further exploits or enhance their control over affected systems, making it easier to deploy additional malware or ransomware, increasing the overall threat to the organization’s cybersecurity posture.
Affected Version(s)
ADC 14.1 < 43.56
ADC 13.1 < 58.32
Gateway 14.1 < 43.56
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
