Patrick Gray recalls an incident involving a Citrix proxy vulnerability disclosed during the RSA conference, which saw exploitation in the wild just days after its announcement. This highlights the rapid pace at which vulnerabilities become active threats.
“Yeah, it was RSA this year, uh, when I was out there, and I think it was 9:31 AM on the Monday, I remember looking at it and thinking, okay.”
“And then by Thursday, the same week, it was reported that there was exploitation in the wild.”
“And that's, you know, a couple of days, during, you know, the week to patch something like that. It's pretty, pretty rough couple of days.”
