Citrix NetScaler Console Vulnerability Enables Admin Access - PoC Released

A critical vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler Console allows complete unauthenticated administrative access despite being initially classified as merely a “sensitive information disclosure” issue. “The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to obtain an admin-level session ID from an internal API and use this to create other admin users on the system,” confirms Rapid7’s analysis. While originally described simply as “sensitive information disclosure in NetScaler Console,” security researcher chutton-r7 from Rapid7 has revealed that its impact is far more severe. As of April 24, 2025, researchers continue to monitor for active exploitation in the wild, making this vulnerability a significant concern for organizations still running vulnerable NetScaler Console instances. Citrix released patches in July 2024, addressing this vulnerability along with other security issues in NetScaler products.

The proof-of-concept exploit code has been released, enabling attackers to create administrator accounts by exploiting an internal API vulnerability.
