🔴 Critical: CISA orders feds to patch exploited Citrix flaws by Wednesday
-
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a weekend directive requiring U.S. federal agencies to secure their systems against active attacks targeting two critical vulnerabilities in Citrix NetScaler. The order sets a deadline of Wednesday for agencies to apply the necessary patches.
The two flaws are being actively exploited in the wild, which prompted CISA to invoke its emergency directive authority to compel rapid remediation across federal networks. Agencies are expected to verify whether their environments are affected and take immediate action to close the exposure window.
Key points from the directive:
- Affected product: Citrix NetScaler
- Two critical vulnerabilities, both under active exploitation
- Federal agencies must complete patching by Wednesday
- CISA issued the order over the weekend, underscoring the urgency
Administrators running Citrix NetScaler in any environment, not just federal agencies, should treat this as a priority. Given the active exploitation, delays in patching leave systems open to compromise.

Are you running Citrix NetScaler in your environment, and if so, have you already applied the patches or are you still working through the remediation?
