Hundreds of Citrix Netscaler ADC and Gateway servers have already been breached and backdoored in a series of attacks targeting a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability tracked as CVE-2023-3519.
The vulnerability was previously exploited as a zero-day breach of the network of a U.S.A. critical infrastructure organization.
Security researchers from the Shadowserver Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing internet security, have now disclosed that attackers had deployed web shells on at least 640 Citrix servers in these attacks.

RCE exploited to hack 6% of all vulnerable servers​

Security researchers at cybersecurity company Fox-IT (part of the NCC Group) and the Dutch Institute of Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD) have discovered a large-scale campaign that planted webshells on Citrix Netscaler servers vulnerable to CVE-2023-3519.

Although the vulnerability received a patch on July 18, hackers started exploiting it in the wild as a zero-day to execute code without authentication.

Almost 2,000 Citrix NetScaler servers backdoored in hacking campaign

A threat actor has compromised close to 2,000 thousand Citrix NetScaler servers in a massive campaign exploiting the critical-severity remote code execution tracked as CVE-2023-3519.

Citrix ADC Vulnerability IOC Scanner tool available​

Today, Mandiant released a scanner that enables organizations to examine their Citrix ADC and Citrix Gateway devices for signs of compromise and post-exploitation activity.

"The tool is designed to do a best effort job at identifying existing compromises," reads Mandiant's post.

"It will not identify a compromise 100% of the time, and it will not tell you if a device is vulnerable to exploitation."

Mandian't Ctrix IOC Scanner must be run directly on a device or a mounted forensic image, as it will scan the local filesystem and configuration files for the presence of various IOCs.

When finished, the scanner will display a summary detailing if it encountered any signs of compromise […]

New CVE-2023-3519 scanner detects hacked Citrix ADC, Gateway devices

Mandiant has released a scanner to check if a Citrix NetScaler Application Delivery Controller (ADC) or NetScaler Gateway Appliance was compromised in widespread attacks exploiting the CVE-2023-3519 vulnerability.
