Thousands of Citrix ADC and Gateways Still Backdoored Despite Patching

Nearly 1,900 Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway devices remain compromised after attackers exploited CVE-2023-3519 to install persistent web shells, even after administrators patched the vulnerability. Fox-IT and Mandiant recommend checking systems retroactively for signs of compromise using their IoC Scanner script.

SOC Analysis:
Patching does not retroactively remove implants. Organizations should:
  • Run Mandiant’s scanner to detect backdoors
  • Audit NetScaler logs for suspicious behavior
  • Reset credentials and review admin access
