Citrix NetScaler Application Delivery Controller (ADC) and NetScaler Gateway are affected by a Bleichenbacher-style RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 padding oracle vulnerability in their TLS implementation, tracked as CVE-2017-17382 and commonly referred to as a ROBOT attack. Affected versions are NetScaler ADC and Gateway 10.5 before build 67.13, 11.0 before build 71.22, 11.1 before build 56.19, and 12.0 before build 53.22. The flaw arises from information leakage through discrepancies in PKCS#1 padding error handling during RSA-based TLS key exchange processing, creating an oracle that can be queried remotely. By leveraging this oracle, an attacker can iteratively recover the TLS pre-master secret and decrypt captured TLS ciphertext.

This repository is the Metasploit Framework, a comprehensive and modular exploitation framework widely used for penetration testing, vulnerability research, and red teaming. The structure includes configuration files, Ruby code for the core framework, auxiliary data files (such as exploit templates, payloads, and configuration YAMLs), and documentation. The framework supports a wide range of exploit modules, auxiliary modules (for scanning, information gathering, and credential harvesting), and payloads (for remote code execution, reverse shells, Meterpreter sessions, etc.). Notable fingerprintable endpoints include configuration files for database and credential capture, EICAR test files for AV evasion testing, and YAML files for LDAP and email attack configuration. The framework is weaponized, supporting both network and local attack vectors, and is highly extensible for targeting a broad array of platforms and vulnerabilities.
