Citrix on Thursday warned users of a critical-severity NetScaler vulnerability that requires immediate patching.
Tracked as CVE-2026-107406 (CVSS score of 9.5), the flaw is described as a memory overflow that could lead to remote code execution (RCE) or denial-of-service (DoS).
According to Citrix, the security defect impacts NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway appliances configured as a SAML SP or SAML IdP, under specific configuration conditions.
The bug also affects Secure Private Access Hybrid deployments that use NetScaler. Customers need to update these NetScaler instances as well.
Patches were included in NetScaler ADC and Gateway versions 14.1-73.46, 13.1-64.29, 14.1-73.46 FIPS, and 13.1.37.283 (of 13.1-FIPS and 13.1-NDcPP).
“As of the publication of the bulletin, Citrix is not aware of any unmitigated exploits of this vulnerability,” Citrix notes , urging customers to upgrade their instances as soon as possible.

Citrix’s fresh warning comes days after the company sounded the alarm on CVE-2026-88779, a zero-day in NetScaler leading to DoS.
A week before, two other NetScaler zero-days were patched: CVE-2026-88771 (leading to RCE), and CVE-2026-88772 (leading to RCE or DoS). They have been exploited in attacks against government, financial services, education, legal, and professional services organizations.
