CVE-2023-24487Network attack vector

Arbitrary appliance file read

Published Jul 10, 2023 · Updated Oct 25, 2024

Arbitrary file read in Citrix ADC and Citrix Gateway allows attackers with management-interface access to read appliance files. Citrix has not published the affected code locus or the incorrect return-value check that permits the read. Exploitation requires reachability to an NSIP or SNIP exposing the management interface; the documented consequence is file disclosure, with no published write or code-execution impact.
