CVE-2018-6809

Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—

NetScaler ADC 10.5, 11.0, 11.1, and 12.0, and NetScaler Gateway 10.5, 11.0, 11.1, and 12.0 allow remote attackers to gain privilege on a target system.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
