Background for this topic.
A flaw is a defect in software, hardware, system design, or configuration that causes unintended behavior. In security reporting, the term usually means a weakness that could violate confidentiality, integrity, or availability when reached through a particular interface, input, privilege, or operating condition. Not every flaw is exploitable, and exploitability depends on factors such as exposure, authentication requirements, affected versions, and available mitigations.
Flaws matter because they can create attack paths in applications, operating systems, devices, APIs, or administrative settings. Security teams assess their severity and exposure, prioritize remediation, apply patches or configuration changes, and use isolation or access controls when immediate fixes are unavailable. Code review, testing, vulnerability scanning, and monitoring can reveal flaws across the development and operational lifecycle. Reports should distinguish a confirmed vulnerability from a theoretical defect and provide enough technical detail to support validation without unnecessarily enabling exploitation.
If exploited, the critical vulnerability allows attackers to maintain access for longer periods of time than the original CitrixBleed flaw, all while remaining undetected.
A critical NetScaler ADC and Gateway vulnerability dubbed "Citrix Bleed 2" (CVE-2025-5777) is now likely exploited in attacks, according to cybersecurity firm ReliaQuest, seeing an increase in suspicious sessions on Citrix devices. [...]

This new CitrixBleed lookalike flaw is being exploited in the wild to gain initial access, according to ReliaQuest
Threat intelligence firm GreyNoise is warning of a "notable surge" in scanning activity targeting Progress MOVEit Transfer systems starting May 27, 2025—suggesting that attackers may be preparing for another mass exploitation campaign or probing for unpatched systems.MOVEit Transfer is a popular managed file transfer solution used by businesses and government agencies to share sensitive data
Also, O Canada, Oh Brother and More Probable Chinese HackingThis week, ransomware kills, Salt Typhoon hit Canada, Russian backdoors, SAP and Citrix patches, China hackers in the oil and energy sector. Brother printers have an unfixable flaw. Ransomware hit a U.S. dairy cooperative. Hackers in Albania and Oxford. European lawmakers heard cybersecurity advice.
A total of 689 printer models from Brother, along with 53 other models from Fujifilm, Toshiba, and Konica Minolta, come with a default administrator password that remote attackers can generate. Even worse, there is no way to fix the flaw via firmware in existing printers. [...]
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a critical vulnerability in the Open VSX Registry ("open-vsx[.]org") that, if successfully exploited, could have enabled attackers to take control of the entire Visual Studio Code extensions marketplace, posing a severe supply chain risk
Cisco has published a bulletin to warn about two critical, unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities affecting Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and the Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC). [...]
Cisco has released updates to address two maximum-severity security flaws in Identity Services Engine (ISE) and ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) that could permit an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the root user
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Wednesday added three security flaws, each impacting AMI MegaRAC, D-Link DIR-859 router, and Fortinet FortiOS, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation
Two emergency patches issued in two weeks Hot on the heels of patching a critical bug in Citrix-owned Netscaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway that one security researcher dubbed "CitrixBleed 2," the embattled networking device vendor today issued an emergency patch for yet another super-serious flaw in the same products — but not before criminals found and exploited it as a zero-day.…
A recent vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway is dubbed "CitrixBleed 2," after its similarity to an older exploited flaw that allowed unauthenticated attackers to hijack authentication session cookies from vulnerable devices. [...]
Citrix has released security updates to address a critical flaw affecting NetScaler ADC that it said has been exploited in the wild
Hackers Can Use Unverified Email to Log onto SaaS Apps With Entra IDA flaw in a Microsoft single sign-on feature allowing cloud app account takeovers discovered in 2023 never really went away, say researchers - notwithstanding a computing giant claim that it almost immediately fixed the vulnerability known as nOAuth.
Cybersecurity researchers have detailed two now-patched security flaws in SAP Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Windows and Java that, if successfully exploited, could have enabled attackers to access sensitive information under certain conditions
Semperis estimates that at least 15,000 enterprise SaaS applications are still vulnerable to a flaw discovered in 2023
The company has patched two vulnerabilities in its Graphical User Interface that would have allowed attackers to grab data from a user's input history feature.
Why are you even reading this story? Patch now! Citrix patched a critical vulnerability in its NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway products that is already being compared to the infamous CitrixBleed flaw exploited by ransomware gangs and other cyber scum, although there haven't been any reports of active exploitation. Yet.…
The Canadian Center for Cybersecurity has confirmed that the Chinese state-sponsored cyber-threat actor targeted one of its telecommunications companies in February via a Cisco flaw, as part of global attack wave.
