Citrix NetScaler Mass Exploitation, Cisco's 9.8 CVE & Revolut Breached Again

This week's Risk Radar: Citrix NetScaler vulnerabilities move from disclosure to mass exploitation in under 24 hours, Cisco's SD-WAN racks up its eighth vulnerability of the year with a critical 9.8 CVSS score, and Revolut discloses another data breach, this time rooted in a supplier's supplier rather than its own systems.

Citrix NetScaler Under Mass Exploitation

On Saturday, a security firm disclosed two separate attacks against Citrix NetScaler products, affecting both the ADC and Gateway lines. By Sunday, these exploits had already been adopted at scale by attackers, impacting thousands of deployments worldwide.

What to do:
Patch any NetScaler ADC or Gateway deployment immediately, rotate all associated accounts, and take a snapshot of your logs now for forensic analysis before evidence ages out.

Cisco SD-WAN's Eighth Vulnerability This Year

Cisco has confirmed its eighth SD-WAN vulnerability of the year, carrying a CVSS score of 9.8. This level of recurring critical findings in a single product line should already have patch cycles on a short leash.

What to do:
Upgrade to the patched release immediately. Hunt your logs for POST requests, particularly URL-encoded requests to the affected security-check endpoint, and cross-reference known indicators of compromise from the associated suspicious IP addresses.

Revolut Breached Again, This Time Through a Supplier's Supplier

Revolut has suffered another data breach, though not directly: a US-based data broker used by one of Revolut's suppliers was itself breached, exposing data belonging to Irish Revolut users, including phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses and employer details. The timing was pointed, with our own Robert Kehoe speaking on third-party and supply chain risk at the Business Post Cybersecurity Summit in Croke Park just days earlier.

What to do:
Risk-assess and manage data flowing not just to your direct suppliers but to their suppliers in turn, and maintain a tracked inventory of every connection to your critical ICT providers.

Stay safe, and share this with your team.
