CVE-2023-6548Citrix NetScaler — code injection on the management interface

A low-privileged account that can reach a NetScaler management address injects code the appliance then runs. Reaching that interface is the whole precondition, and it is meant to answer only on the device's own addresses.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Install the fixed NetScaler build from Citrix, and restrict the management addresses to an administrative network — reaching them is what this flaw needs.
