Citrix gives NetScaler admins another critical reason to patch

Citrix is urging customers to patch another critical NetScaler vulnerability after weeks of disclosures involving actively exploited flaws.

CVE-2026-107406 affects NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway and can lead to remote code execution (RCE) or denial of service (DoS).

It carries a CVSS v4.0 score of 9.5.

The affected configurations depend on the software version.

Older builds are vulnerable when configured as a SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) service provider (SP) or identity provider (IdP); some more recent builds are affected only in the identity provider configuration.

Citrix's advisory lists the affected builds and required updates.

Secure Private Access Hybrid deployments using NetScaler instances also need patching.

Citrix classifies the flaw as CWE-119: improper restriction of operations within a memory buffer.

Customers must update their own deployments.

Citrix says it handles the necessary updates for its managed cloud services and Adaptive Authentication.

Citrix did not say whether this vulnerability was already exploited as a zero-day before disclosure, but credited Michael Tucker, Chew Keong Tan, and Alex Bernier at JPMorgan Chase's XOR Team, along with Maxim Suhanov, for the discovery.

Google researchers said a campaign exploiting CVE-2026-88772 had been underway since at least early September, with organizations in government, finance, legal, and education across North America and Europe likely affected.

Citrix disclosed the flaw weeks later as part of a release that patched eight vulnerabilities.

Citrix disclosed another exploited flaw, CVE-2026-88779, last Friday that carries a severity score of 8.7.
