WatchTowr Labs researchers discovered two vulnerabilities in Citrix NetScaler while investigating CitrixBleed2 (CVE-2025-5777). The first (WT-2025-0089) is a memory leak triggered by a specific AAA misconfiguration — creating an AAA virtual server without enabling the feature via CLI — causing the root page to leak memory. Citrix declined to assign a CVE, agreeing the configuration is unrealistic in production. The second (WT-2025-0090, CVE-2025-12101) is a Reflected XSS via the SAML RelayState parameter on the /cgi/logout endpoint, exploitable via CSRF with a crafted SAMLResponse. The post raises broader concerns about Citrix NetScaler's fragile memory management, noting a recurring pattern of memory disclosure vulnerabilities across multiple CVEs.
