An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2026-88779 in the wild since at least 4 Oct 2026.\n\nAffected product: NetScaler ADC. 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-2026-88779/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-88779/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-88779","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-88779/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-88779","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-56r3-m27m-8p62"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NetScaler ADC Gateway","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory overflow in NetScaler ADC and Gateway allows attackers to cause a denial of service, requiring an upgrade to patched versions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"NetScaler","cpe":[{"product":"netscaler_application_delivery_controller","vendor":"citrix"},{"product":"netscaler_gateway","vendor":"citrix"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Vulnerability in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway.\n\nThis issue affects ADC: before 14.1-73.41, before 13.1-64.28, before 14.1-73.41 FIPS, and before 13.1-37.282; Gateway: before 14.1-73.41 and before 13.1-64.28.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Citrix NetScaler Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer","id":"CVE-2026-88779","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2026-10-04","dueDate":"2026-10-07","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"NetScaler","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).
