介绍

# CVE-2025-5777 Citrix NetScaler Memory Leak Exploit

## Overview

This project demonstrates a memory leak vulnerability ([CVE-2025-5777](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-5777)) found in **Citrix NetScaler** appliances. The vulnerability results from improper handling of uninitialized memory when parsing malformed `POST` data, particularly the `login` parameter. It's widely known as **CitrixBleed 2** because of its strong resemblance to the infamous [CVE-2023-4966](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2023-4966) (original CitrixBleed) which was heavily exploited in 2023

When the `login` field is included **without an equal sign or value**, a portion of uninitialized stack memory is returned inside the `<InitialValue>` tag in the XML response.

**Data Leaked:** Each HTTP request can leak approximately 127 bytes of RAM content. By repeating these requests, attackers can collect sensitive data from memory, which may include:
* Session tokens (allowing session hijacking and bypassing MFA).
* Authentication data.
* Portions of previous HTTP requests.
* Plaintext credentials.
* Other sensitive information.

## Script Usage

### Requirements / Dependencies

```bash
pip3 install aiohttp colorama
```

### Run the script

```bash
python3 exploit.py <URL> [options]
```

### How it work
This Python script:
- Send repeated malformed POST requests.
- Parse XML responses.
- Extract leaked memory from `<InitialValue>` fields.
- Display it in a hex-dump format like the `xxd` tool.
- Support optional proxying, threading and verbose output for analysis.

## Impact

* **Session Hijacking:** The primary concern is the theft of session tokens, which allows attackers to hijack active user sessions and gain unauthorized access to critical systems, even if multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled.
* **Bypassing Authentication:** Stolen session tokens or credentials can be used to completely bypass the authentication process.
* **Data Disclosure:** Sensitive information residing in memory can be exposed.

## Defense & Mitigation

* [Update](https://support.citrix.com/support-home/kbsearch/article?articleNumber=CTX693420) to the latest secure firmware immediately.
* Monitor for abnormal POST request patterns.
