# Citrix gives NetScaler admins another critical reason to patch

**[The Register](https://daily.dev/sources/theregister)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Citrix is urging NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway admins to patch a new critical vulnerability, CVE-2026-107406, which carries a CVSS v4.0 score of 9.5 and can lead to remote code execution or denial of service. The flaw stems from a memory buffer restriction issue (CWE-119) and affects SAML service provider or identity provider configurations, depending on the software version. Citrix has not confirmed whether the flaw was exploited as a zero-day before disclosure, though it credits researchers from JPMorgan Chase's XOR Team and an independent researcher for finding it. This comes weeks after another exploited NetScaler flaw (CVE-2026-88772) was used in attacks against government, finance, legal, and education organizations, and shortly after a separate exploited flaw, CVE-2026-88779, was disclosed with an 8.7 severity score.
