Python PoC for CVE-2026-88772 that fingerprints Citrix NetScaler ADC/Gateway, compares build versions to fixed releases, and probes UDP/443 DTLS exposure.
Python 3 PoC for CVE-2026-88772 — Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway.
CVE-2026-88772 — Memory overflow on DTLS (UDP TLS) handling can lead to remote code execution or denial of service. Exploitation requires DTLS to be enabled; on Gateway, DTLS is on by default for VPN virtual servers unless an administrator set -dtls OFF. DTLS-type vServers are also in scope.
Affected (fix thresholds):
| Product | Fixed |
|---|---|
| ADC / Gateway 14.1 | 14.1-73.37 and later |
| ADC / Gateway 13.1 | 13.1-64.23 and later |
| ADC 14.1 FIPS | 14.1-73.37 FIPS |
| ADC 13.1 FIPS / NDcPP | 13.1.37.279 |
CVSS 4.0: 9.5 CRITICAL (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N, high C/I/A and subscores).
Citrix CTX697096 (with CVE-2026-88771 through 88778) states active exploitation of 88771 and 88772 on unmitigated appliances. Prior August builds (14.1-73.32, 13.1-63.21) do not fix this issue.

Catalog: https://pocbit.org/pocs/
| Vendor | Citrix / Cloud Software Group |
| Products | NetScaler ADC, NetScaler Gateway |
| Vector | Network, DTLS (typically UDP 443) |
| Impact | RCE or DoS |
| Mitigation | Patch; or disable DTLS on VPN vServer |
This PoC fingerprints Gateway/ADC login surfaces, parses build strings when exposed, checks UDP/443, and optionally sends a benign DTLS ClientHello probe. It does not include the memory overflow trigger (weaponized in the wild).
