Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Citrix NetScaler, ADC and the Gateway door
CVE eighty-eight-seven-seven-nine, memory's sore
Improper bounds on a buffer, the walls give way
Attacker pours data till the fence can't stay
Overflow the boundary, operations bleed through
Gateway that should guard you now lets strangers through
Patch the NetScaler, don't wait for the smoke
This one's the opening move, not just a joke

[Chorus]
Небезпека, зачини двері (Danger, shut the door)
CVE на моніторі, не до жартів тепер (CVE on the monitor, no joking now)
Buffer break, privilege climb, session unglued
Патчі зараз — this is not a drill, dude
Захищайся, системо, тримайся, тримайся (Defend yourself, system, hold on, hold on)

[Verse 2]
Now Zammad GmbH, the helpdesk software crew
CVE one-oh-two-four-nine-oh comes for you
Improper privilege management, a local zammad hand
Climbs the ladder straight to root, takes full command
No exploit chain needed, just local access first
Suddenly the support tool becomes your system's curse
Root means everything — the keys, the locks, the vault
Patch this privilege gap before it's your fault

[Verse 3]
Паралельно (Meanwhile) — one-oh-two-four-eight-nine's in play
Session fixation, hijacking the handshake
Attacker plants a token before you ever log in
Rides your session in, remote code starts to spin
Now stack them together, chain link one to two
Fixation gets them in, privilege turns them root
Zammad users, listen — update both at once
Half a patch is nothing, don't leave half a chance

[Chorus]
Небезпека, зачини двері
CVE на моніторі, не до жартів тепер
Buffer break, privilege climb, session unglued
Патчі зараз — this is not a drill, dude
Захищайся, системо, тримайся, тримайся

[Verse 4]
Think about the SOC team, three alerts at dawn
Correlating patches while the coffee's getting drawn
One CVE's a buffer, one's a climb to root
One's a stolen session wearing someone else's suit
Together they're a map for any patient, patient foe
Reconnaissance to access, then the final blow
So baseline every server, every helpdesk, every door
Inventory first, then patch — don't guess, be sure
Scanners running nightly, logs line up in rows
Defense in depth means layers — that's the way it goes

[Bridge]
Memory walls, broken locks, a stolen cookie's lie
Three vendors, one morning, same urgent cry
NetScaler guards the gateway, Zammad guards the desk
Both got picked apart under today's stress test
Не чекай (Don't wait) — the window's already thin
Patch before the next report lets ransomware in

[Outro]
October seventh, mark it, write it down
CVE numbers spinning like a warning crown
Buffer, privilege, session — say it twice
Патчуй сьогодні (Patch today) — don't roll the dice

[Chorus]
Небезпека, зачини двері
CVE на моніторі, не до жартів тепер
Buffer break, privilege climb, session unglued
Патчі зараз — this is not a drill, dude
Захищайся, системо, тримайся, тримайся
