Lyrics

[Verse 1]
NetScaler's gatekeeper, CVE eight-eight-seven-seven-nine
Memory buffer's bleeding past its drawn-out line
Citrix ADC, Gateway too, feel the strain
Operations spill outside the bounds again
That's a boundary error, attacker's in the room
Overflow the limits, watch the data bloom
Gateway's supposed to guard the castle wall
Instead it's handing over skeleton keys to all

[Chorus]
Patch it now, the clock is loud
Critical CVEs stacking up the cloud
NetScaler's leaking, Zammad's compromised
Two bugs chained together, it's a nasty prize
October fifth, the sirens scream
Don't let the buffer break your dream

[Verse 2]
Zammad's got a ticket desk that handles all your calls
But privilege management's falling off the walls
One oh two four nine zero, local user known
Climbs the ladder sneaky till they're wearing root's crown
A support tech's access turns to full admin might
That's escalation, climbing stairs built outside the light

[Verse 3]
Now the session cookie, fixed before it's spun
One oh two four eight nine, the second half of one
Session fixation means the token's pre-arranged
Attacker plants the key before the login's changed
Victim logs in thinking that they're safe and sound
But the session's owned, the attacker's gained their ground
Chain it with the privilege bug, root access wide
Remote code execution riding on the inside

[Chorus]
Patch it now, the clock is loud
Critical CVEs stacking up the cloud
NetScaler's leaking, Zammad's compromised
Two bugs chained together, it's a nasty prize
October fifth, the sirens scream
Don't let the buffer break your dream

[Verse 4]
Think of all the helpdesks running Zammad every day
Trusting that the login screen will keep the threats away
Now picture NetScaler standing guard at every door
Both of them exposed and bleeding out onto the floor
The scanners find them quick, the exploit code's already live
Dark web whispers passwords, waiting for the hack to thrive
Admins pulling all-nighters, reading CVE reports
Racing patches out before the breach reports distort
This ain't hypothetical, it's happening tonight
Every unpatched server is a target in their sight

[Bridge]
One flaw alone's a crack, a chain's a canyon wide
Fixation plus the privilege climb, there's nowhere left to hide
Memory bound broke loose on NetScaler's gated door
Three vulnerabilities knocking, you can't ignore

[Outro]
Eight-eight-seven-seven-nine, patch that Gateway tight
One oh two four nine oh, lock the root tonight
One oh two four eight nine, kill the fixed-session fright
Today's news is critical — update before the night

[Chorus]
Patch it now, the clock is loud
Critical CVEs stacking up the cloud
NetScaler's leaking, Zammad's compromised
Two bugs chained together, it's a nasty prize
October fifth, the sirens scream
Don't let the buffer break your dream
