An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2026-86218 in the wild since at least 8 Sep 2026.\n\nAffected product: N-able N-central. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-86218/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-86218/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-86218","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-86218/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-86218","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5f24-g9g9-m3v8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"N-able N-central","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code remotely without authentication on N-able N-central servers, requiring an immediate upgrade.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"N-able","cpe":[{"product":"n-central","vendor":"n-able"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-96","name":"Improper Neutralization of Directives in Statically Saved Code"}],"description":"N-central is vulnerable to a pre-auth remote code execution This issue affects N-central: before 2026.3.1.14.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-09-05","github_poc":3,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2026-09-05","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/http/nable_ncentral_unauth_rce_cve_2026_86218","stars":null,"title":"N-able N-central Struts BeanUtils Unauthenticated RCE"},{"date":"2026-09-07T08:54:02Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/HORKimhab/CVE-2026-86218","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2026-86218 - Draft or TODO - N-central is vulnerable to a pre-auth remote code execution"},{"date":"2026-09-14T08:34:16Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Udyz/CVE-2026-86218","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2026-86218 - N-able N-central Struts BeanUtils Unauthenticated RCE"},{"date":"2026-09-23T12:32:48Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/super-meuw/CVE-2026-86218","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2026-86218 "},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2026/CVE-2026-86218.yaml","stars":null,"title":"N-able N-central \u003c2026.3.1.14 - Pre-Authentication Remote Code Execution"}],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"N-able N-central Static Code Injection","id":"CVE-2026-86218","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2026-09-08","dueDate":"2026-09-11","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"N-central","requiredAction":"Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes).
