Metasploit Wrapup: Unauth RCE modules in Network Perimeter Devices and much more
Metasploit adds new modules for unauthenticated RCE in NetScaler and Cisco Secure Email Gateway.
Metasploit Framework has released new modules, including unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) exploits for network perimeter devices like Citrix NetScaler and Cisco Secure Email Gateway. The update also features an authenticated RCE module for GitLab CI/CD, an authentication bypass for Flowise, and an NTLMv2 hash disclosure for OpenBullet2. Additionally, support for LoongArch payloads has been expanded.

The lesson from this incident
Full lessonThe release of unauthenticated RCE modules for widely deployed network perimeter devices like Citrix NetScaler and Cisco Secure Email Gateway dramatically lowers the barrier for attackers to exploit known vulnerabilities. When exploits reach mature frameworks like Metasploit, even low-skilled threat actors can weaponize them at scale, making unpatched internet-facing devices extremely high-risk. The authentication bypass in Flowise and NTLMv2 hash disclosure in OpenBullet2 further illustrate that access control weaknesses compound the damage when patches are delayed. Organizations that treat perimeter device patching as a low-priority, scheduled task rather than an emergency response discipline are effectively leaving their front door unlocked once public exploits are available.
