CVE-2025-5349 is a high-severity improper access control vulnerability in the NetScaler Management Interface of Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway. The flaw affects management-plane access associated with the NSIP, Cluster Management IP, and local GSLB Site IP. Available reporting indicates that an attacker located on the same network segment as the targeted management interface may be able to bypass intended access restrictions and obtain unauthorized access to the system. Affected releases include NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway 14.1 before 14.1-43.56, 13.1 before 13.1-58.32, NetScaler ADC 13.1-FIPS/NDcPP before 13.1-37.235-FIPS/NDcPP, and NetScaler ADC 12.1-FIPS before 12.1-55.328-FIPS. End-of-life 12.1 and 13.0 branches are also considered vulnerable and should be upgraded to supported fixed releases.
