Citrix Citrix ADC security vulnerabilities mitigation steps



CVE-2021-22956 only affects access to the management GUI, Nitro API and RPC communication and does not affect CLI access. Citrix strongly recommends that network traffic to the appliance’s management interface is separated, either physically or logically, from normal network traffic. Doing so greatly diminishes the risk of exploitation of this issue. See https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-adc/citrix-adc-secure-deployment/secure-deployment-guide.html for more information.
