Memory overflow vulnerability leading to Remote Code Execution or Denial of Service Vulnerability in NetScaler ADC. NetScaler ADC or NetScaler Gateway must be configured as a SAML SP or SAML IdP, subject to the following version-specific requirements:   * For the following versions: Applicable only when configured as a SAML IdP: * NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway between 14.1-73.37 and 14.1-73.41, inclusive * NetScaler ADC 14.1-FIPS between 14.1-73.37 FIPS and 14.1-73.41 FIPS, inclusive * NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway between 13.1-64.23 and 13.1-64.28, inclusive * NetScaler ADC 13.1-FIPS between 13.1-NDcPP 13.1-37.279 and 13.1- 37.282, inclusive   For the following versions: Applicable only when configured as a SAML SP or SAML IdP: * NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway before 14.1-73.37  * NetScaler ADC 14.1-FIPS before 14.1-73.37 FIPS  * NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway before 13.1-64.23 * NetScaler ADC 13.1-FIPS before13.1-NDcPP 13.1-37.279

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.5% (30-day exploitation probability)+6
  • Technical severity (critical)+10

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (NetScaler ADC, NetScaler Gateway).
  2. The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
  3. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  4. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (memory corruption), errors and authentication anomalies.

Affected scope

Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.

Detection

Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.

  • Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).
  • Correlate service crashes/restarts with inbound traffic; repeated crashes may indicate attempts.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-107406 is "Memory overflow vulnerability leading to Remote Code Execution or Denial of Service", rated Critical. It affects ADC (NetScaler); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 9.5 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.47% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
