The Australian Signals Directorate has issued an alert regarding critical vulnerabilities in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Citrix NetScaler Gateway products.
Background
The Australian Signals Directorate has issued an alert regarding critical vulnerabilities in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Citrix NetScaler Gateway products. These products are used by Australian organisations to securely deliver applications, data, and remote access to users.
Mitigation Advice
The Australian Signals Directorate's Australian Cyber Security Centre advises organisations to review the mitigation advice on the vendor support page, assess networks and environments for the presence of vulnerable versions of Citrix products, update affected products to the latest versions and apply patches as soon as practicable.
Why it may matter locally
Australian healthcare organisations and Melbourne businesses that use Citrix NetScaler ADC and Citrix NetScaler Gateway products should review the mitigation advice provided by the Australian Signals Directorate. They should also check if their Citrix products are up-to-date and if patches have been applied. If they are managed by a third-party provider, they should contact the provider to ensure the products have been patched and are being monitored for suspicious activity.
