CISA warns hackers are actively exploiting critical ‘Citrix Bleed 2’ security flaw


The U.S. cybersecurity agency gave federal agencies just one day to patch a security bug in Citrix Netscaler, which can be exploited to break into corporate and government networks.

U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA says hackers are actively exploiting a critical-rated security flaw in a widely used Citrix product, and has given other federal government departments just one day to patch their systems. Much like the earlier bug, Citrix Bleed 2 can be remotely exploited to extract sensitive credentials from an affected NetScaler device, allowing the hackers broader access to a company’s wider network. Akamai said it saw a “drastic increase” in efforts to scan the internet for affected devices after details of the NetScaler exploit were published earlier this week.
