Citrix has confirmed two critical remote code execution vulnerabilities in NetScaler are being actively exploited in the wild. The company has released security updates to address both flaws.

The zero-day vulnerabilities affect Citrix NetScaler, a widely deployed application delivery controller. Both flaws allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely on vulnerable systems. Citrix confirmed the exploits are occurring in active attacks and urged customers to apply patches immediately. The company provided security updates across multiple NetScaler versions to remediate the issues. NetScaler is used extensively by enterprises and service providers to manage application traffic and security. The critical nature of these vulnerabilities and ongoing exploitation increase urgency for patching. Citrix recommended users prioritize updates based on their network exposure and apply fixes to internet-facing instances first. Additional technical guidance and vulnerability details are available through Citrix's official security advisory channels.
