CVE-2025-7775: Memory overflow vulnerability leading to Remote Code Execution and/or Denial of Service
Noroxi assessment
Priority: This week (action score 72/100)
- CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (Aug 26, 2025). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Aug 28, 2025.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 20.6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 97.5% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: NetScaler ADC 37.241, 47.48, 55.330; NetScaler Gateway 37.241, 47.48, 55.330.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to NetScaler ADC 37.241, 47.48, 55.330; NetScaler Gateway 37.241, 47.48, 55.330 or later.
