> A memory overflow flaw in Citrix NetScaler ADC/Gateway configured as SAML IdP or SP could allow remote code execution or DoS; no known exploitation yet.

CIS/MS-ISAC issued an advisory on CVE-2026-107406, a memory overflow vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler Application Delivery Controller (ADC) and NetScaler Gateway. Successful exploitation could grant attackers remote code execution on affected devices or trigger a denial-of-service crash. The vulnerability only applies to appliances configured as a SAML Identity Provider (IdP) or Service Provider (SP), narrowing the affected population to organizations using NetScaler for SAML-based authentication/federation.

Affected versions span NetScaler ADC and Gateway 14.1 and 13.1 branches, including FIPS variants, with specific version ranges depending on whether the device is configured as SAML IdP only or as SAML SP/IdP. There are currently no reports of in-the-wild exploitation, but NetScaler appliances are frequently targeted by threat actors once technical details or patches are reverse-engineered, so prompt patching is recommended.

Defenders should identify any NetScaler ADC/Gateway instances configured for SAML IdP or SP roles, verify version numbers against the affected ranges, and apply Citrix's updates after testing. Standard mitigations include network segmentation, isolating administrative interfaces, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing of internet-facing appliances given NetScaler's history as a high-value target for initial access.
