It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2023-6548 in the wild since at least 17 Jan 2024.\n\nAffected product: Cloud Software Group NetScaler ADC. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6548/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6548/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-6548","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6548/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-6548","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w4rw-v3mm-hj8h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NetScaler ADC Gateway","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Low-privileged attackers with management interface access can execute arbitrary code on NetScaler ADC and Gateway devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Citrix","cpe":[{"product":"netscaler_application_delivery_controller","vendor":"citrix"},{"product":"netscaler_gateway","vendor":"citrix"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway allows an attacker with access to NSIP, CLIP or SNIP with management interface to perform Authenticated (low privileged) remote code execution on Management Interface.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway Code Injection","id":"CVE-2023-6548","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2024-01-17","dueDate":"2024-01-24","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway","requiredAction":"Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.","vendorProject":"Citrix","vulnerabilityName":"Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway Code Injection Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2023-6549"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Playbooks access/modification by removed team member","id":"CVE-2023-6547"},"products":["NetScaler ADC","NetScaler Gateway"],"published":"2024-01-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway Code Injection","id":"CVE-2023-3519","kev_date_added":"2023-07-19","published":"2023-07-19"},{"cvss_score":9.5,"headline":"Citrix NetScaler Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2026-88771","kev_date_added":"2026-09-27","published":"2026-09-27"},{"cvss_score":9.5,"headline":"Citrix NetScaler Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer","id":"CVE-2026-88772","kev_date_added":"2026-09-27","published":"2026-09-27"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2023-4966","kev_date_added":"2023-10-18","published":"2023-10-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Citrix NetScaler Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel","id":"CVE-2026-19490","kev_date_added":"2026-09-09","published":"2026-08-19"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Citrix NetScaler Out-of-Bounds Read","id":"CVE-2026-3055","kev_date_added":"2026-03-30","published":"2026-03-23"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway Out-of-Bounds Read","id":"CVE-2025-5777","kev_date_added":"2025-07-10","published":"2025-06-17"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-21","vendors":["Cloud Software Group"]},"summary":"Low-privileged attackers with management interface access can execute arbitrary code on NetScaler ADC and Gateway devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6548/"}
