Citrix has issued patches for twelve security vulnerabilities affecting its NetScaler ADC, NetScaler Gateway, NetScaler Console, and Secure Access Client products. The updates address multiple high-severity memory-related flaws that could be exploited to cause denial-of-service conditions or, in one case, complete authentication bypass.
The nine critical issues impacting NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway are:
- CVE-2026-120868 (CVSS 9.3) – Memory overflow in Packet Processing leading to unpredictable behavior or DoS.
- CVE-2026-107407 (CVSS 9.3) – Memory overflow in SMPP traffic affecting load balancing or content switching virtual servers.
- CVE-2026-107408 (CVSS 9.3) – Memory corruption in DNS and DNS-over-HTTPS configurations.
- CVE-2026-107409 (CVSS 9.3) – Memory corruption specific to DNS-over-HTTPS load balancing.
- CVE-2026-107410 (CVSS 9.3) – Memory overflow in NetScaler Push virtual servers.
- CVE-2026-107412 (CVSS 9.5) – Multiple memory overflows affecting Gateway and AAA virtual servers.
- CVE-2026-107415 (CVSS 9.3) – Memory overflow in Email OTP authentication flows.
- CVE-2026-111344 (CVSS 9.3) – Memory overflow in Endpoint Analysis (EPA/EPAS) on VPN or AAA servers.
- CVE-2026-120864 (CVSS 9.3) – Memory overflow in ICA proxy configurations.
Patches are available in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway versions 14.1-73.57, 13.1-64.39, 14.1-FIPS 14.1-73.58, and corresponding FIPS/NDcPP releases.
Three additional vulnerabilities were addressed in other components. CVE-2026-120869 (CVSS 9.4) is an improper authentication flaw in NetScaler Console that permits unauthenticated attackers to bypass access controls. CVE-2026-118268 (CVSS 8.5) allows local privilege escalation to SYSTEM on Secure Access Client for Windows, while CVE-2026-118269 (CVSS 8.5) enables root privilege escalation on the Linux version. Fixed releases are NetScaler Console 14.1-74.34, Secure Access Client for Windows 26.11.1.6, and Secure Access Client for Linux 26.10.4.
Citrix stated that the discoveries resulted from deeper codebase reviews that incorporated AI-assisted code analysis. No active exploitation of any of the vulnerabilities has been observed, but customers are urged to apply the updates promptly.
