CISA mandates federal patch for exploited Citrix NetScaler flaws by Wednesday

CISA issued an emergency directive over the weekend requiring U.S. federal agencies to patch two critical Citrix NetScaler vulnerabilities actively exploited in the wild, with a Wednesday deadline. The directive signals confirmed exploitation and elevated risk to government networks, though the scope of intrusions remains undisclosed. This is a routine but urgent federal cyber response, indicating ongoing threat actor activity against a widely deployed edge device.
