[Verse 1] A gate stands open on the NetScaler wall, No password asked before the hammer falls, Citrix — NetScaler, ADC and the Gateway too, CVE eighty-eight seven-seven-one, the stranger walks right through, Improper input, a door with no lock on the frame, A nameless hand types commands and nothing stops the claim. [Chorus] Count the cracks before the castle crumbles, October third, the warning bell still rumbles, Numbers high, the danger climbing steeper, Patch tonight, before the breach grows deeper. [Verse 2] Eighty-nine one-three-four, a certificate in disguise, No dNSName listed, but another SAN survives, Nine point one the score it carries, trust slipped through a seam, The Subject CN masquerades as a name it's never seen, Registered ID, an IP hiding in plain sight, The gatekeeper nods along — but the handshake's lying tonight. [Verse 3] Then comes the ten — a perfect, dreadful score, Eighty-eight seven-seven-three knocking at the door, HTTP requests, two readers, different tales, Smuggled through the seams where the parsing always fails, ADC before fourteen-one-seventy-three-point-three-seven bends, One request wears two faces — nobody knows where it ends. [Chorus] Count the cracks before the castle crumbles, October third, the warning bell still rumbles, Numbers high, the danger climbing steeper, Patch tonight, before the breach grows deeper. [Verse 4] Eighty-eight seven-seven-five, a memory stretched too thin, Nine point eight, the overflow lets the intruder in, Same NetScaler halls, the Gateway and the ADC, Versions fall before the fix — thirteen-one, fourteen-one-three, A buffer drowning in data it was never meant to hold, Spilling into silence where the system's secrets fold. [Verse 5] Somewhere an admin sleeps while the logs begin to climb, Unaware the clock already ran out of time, A scanner hums at midnight, counting open doors, Each CVE a ghost that walks the data center floors, The config files remember every patch delayed, And every silent breach that quietly got made. [Bridge] Four alarms ringing in a single autumn night, A cert without a name tag, a gate that won't bite, Smuggled words and swollen memory, side by side, One network, four wounds open — nowhere left to hide. [Chorus] Count the cracks before the castle crumbles, October third, the warning bell still rumbles, Numbers high, the danger climbing steeper, Patch tonight, before the breach grows deeper. [Outro] Seven-seven-one, nine-one-three-four, seven-seven-three, seven-seven-five, Four names etched where the firewall used to thrive, Update the gate before the piano's last low chord, The breach remembers every night you left it unrestored.
