A new security flaw in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway, known as 'CitrixBleed 2,' allows attackers to steal session cookies without authentication, resembling a previous vulnerability.
The vulnerability (CVE-2025-5777) results from insufficient input validation, impacting NetScaler gateways and AAA virtual servers, potentially exposing sensitive information and allowing session token theft.
This issue affects certain versions of NetScaler ADC and Gateway, requiring users to update to fixed versions to mitigate risks. Another high-severity flaw (CVE-2025-5349) in the management interface also needs attention for security.
Citrix advises terminating active ICA and PCoIP sessions after upgrading all NetScaler devices to ensure complete risk mitigation. Security researcher Kevin Beaumont identified the similarities between 'CitrixBleed 2' and a previous vulnerability, stressing the importance of addressing these security issues.
