How severe is CVE-2024-8069?
CVE-2024-8069 is rated High with a CVSS score of 8.0. Severity describes how bad exploitation would be, not how likely it is: pair it with exploitation evidence before deciding what to patch first.
Is there a patch for CVE-2024-8069?
Yes. A fix has been recorded for CVE-2024-8069. The vendor advisory is the authority on the exact fixed version — apply it from there rather than from a summary.

CVE-2024-8069 affects citrix:session_recording. Confirm the exact affected versions against the vendor advisory before deciding you are exposed.
Exploitation status reflects CISA's KEV catalog as we last synced it. Check the catalog directly.
- affected>= 2407 Current Release and < 24.5.200.8
- affected>= 1912 LTSR and < CU9 hotfix 19.12.9100.6
