Detects command-line activity attempting to disable, unbind, or remove NetScaler AppFW (Web Application Firewall) profiles, signatures, or security policies. This activity is indicative of defense evasion following the exploitation of CVE-2026-88771 or CVE-2026-88772 to suppress security alerting on follow-on malicious activity.
Detects command-line activity on a NetScaler appliance indicative of defense evasion by truncating, deleting, or disabling audit logs (ns.log) and syslog forwarding services. This activity often follows the exploitation of public-facing application vulnerabilities where an attacker seeks to hide their presence.
Identifies NetScaler ADC or Gateway software versions in the inventory that are known to be vulnerable to CVE-2026-88771 and CVE-2026-88772, despite having received the patch for CVE-2026-19490.
Identifies NetScaler ADC or Gateway software versions in the inventory that are known to be vulnerable to CVE-2026-88771 and CVE-2026-88772, despite having received the patch for CVE-2026-19490.
Detects anomalous web request patterns against Citrix NetScaler ADC or Gateway devices, characterized by excessively long URLs or request contexts combined with high-frequency parameter variation from a single source. This behavior is indicative of potential fuzzing or exploit attempts targeting web application vulnerabilities, specifically input validation flaws in edge infrastructure.
Detects potential exploitation attempts targeting unpatched Citrix NetScaler ADC or Gateway devices, specifically looking for unauthenticated requests to management or sensitive endpoints that contain command execution indicators. This rule is designed to identify activity associated with vulnerabilities similar to CVE-2026-88771.
Detects potential exploitation attempts targeting unpatched Citrix NetScaler ADC or Gateway devices, specifically looking for unauthenticated requests to management or sensitive endpoints that contain command execution indicators. This rule is designed to identify activity associated with vulnerabilities similar to CVE-2026-88771.
This rule detects anomalous, high-frequency unauthenticated POST requests targeting NetScaler ADC and Gateway management or service endpoints (/vpn/, /logon/, /nitro/). Such patterns are characteristic of automated reconnaissance and exploitation attempts, specifically targeting vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-88771 and CVE-2026-88772.
Detects command-line activity attempting to disable, unbind, or remove NetScaler AppFW (Web Application Firewall) profiles, signatures, or security policies. This activity is indicative of defense evasion following the exploitation of CVE-2026-88771 or CVE-2026-88772 to suppress security alerting on follow-on malicious activity.
Detects anomalous lateral movement behavior where a successful NetScaler VPN or gateway session is followed immediately by internal remote service logons (RDP, SSH, WinRM) or network connections from the same source IP. This pattern is indicative of potential exploitation of Citrix NetScaler vulnerabilities (e.g., CVE-2026-88771, CVE-2026-88772) or credential abuse to move laterally into the internal environment.
Detects unauthorized access, reading, or downloading of sensitive NetScaler system files, including configuration files (ns.conf), licensing files, and cryptographic material (private keys/certificates). This activity often indicates post-exploitation reconnaissance, staging, or data theft attempts following initial access.
Detects a suspicious sequence of events involving NetScaler ADC or Gateway appliances: anomalous account authentication, followed by the establishment of a VPN or remote access session, and subsequent unusual outbound network activity indicating potential lateral movement or C2 communication from the appliance.

Detects the creation or modification of SSH authorized_keys or authorized_keys2 files. This is a common persistence technique used to maintain remote access by adding an adversary-controlled public key to a user's configuration, often performed after initial access through exploitation of public-facing services.
Detects a suspicious sequence of events involving NetScaler ADC or Gateway appliances: anomalous account authentication, followed by the establishment of a VPN or remote access session, and subsequent unusual outbound network activity indicating potential lateral movement or C2 communication from the appliance.
Detects anomalous NetScaler session activity potentially indicative of session hijacking or token forgery. This includes identifying session tokens reused across different source IP addresses or user-agents within a short timeframe, as well as detecting session tokens utilized in traffic without a preceding recorded authentication or logon event.
This rule identifies suspicious post-exploitation activity where an anomalous or unauthenticated NetScaler VPN session (potentially exploiting CVE-2026-88771 or CVE-2026-88772) is followed by the creation or modification of SSH authorized_keys files or related credential manipulation commands on internal hosts, suggesting an attacker establishing persistence.
Detects DNS queries originating from NetScaler appliances that exhibit algorithmically generated domain (DGA) characteristics or utilize top-level domains (TLDs) frequently associated with malicious command and control infrastructure. This rule aims to identify potential post-exploitation C2 communication following a compromise of a NetScaler ADC or Gateway appliance.
