On November 12, 2026, security fixes for NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway were published. If these components handle your website traffic or provide remote access to company systems, instruct your administrator to urgently verify the edition and full build number and coordinate an update. One critical vulnerability affects even standard configurations.

Who Needs to Know and What Is Confirmed

NetScaler ADC may participate in distributing web traffic, while Gateway manages access for employees and administrators to applications. First, confirm whether they are used in your specific environment and who is responsible for maintenance. The mere presence of a VPS, virtual hosting, or 1C-Bitrix does not imply a dependency on NetScaler.

The CERT-EU bulletin 2026-020 lists 28 memory errors. CVE-2026-120868 received a CVSS score of 9.3: it requires no special features or authentication. CVE-2026-107412, rated 9.5, applies to Gateway configurations—SSL VPN, ICA Proxy, CVPN, RDP Proxy—or to AAA virtual servers. Other errors have their own specific conditions.

Documented descriptions of consequences include unpredictable behavior and service denial. These details do not provide grounds to declare remote code execution or data theft as proven. CERT-EU reports that exploitation and public proof-of-concept for the attack have not been disclosed. This is an assessment at the time of the report, not a guarantee that attacks are absent.

Which builds to verify

Compare the full product designation, branch, and edition. The table lists thresholds from the CERT-EU technical bulletin. A newer build must belong to the same corresponding branch: a standard package cannot be automatically considered a replacement for FIPS or NDcPP.

Product and Branch

Affected Builds

Fixed Release

ADC / Gateway 14.1

Prior to 14.1-73.57

14.1-73.57 or newer in the 14.1 branch

ADC / Gateway 13.1

Earlier than 13.1-64.39

13.1-64.39 or newer in the 13.1 branch

ADC 14.1 FIPS

Earlier than 14.1-73.58 FIPS

14.1-73.58 FIPS or newer in the 14.1 FIPS branch

ADC 13.1 FIPS / NDcPP

Builds with version numbers lower than 13.1-37.293

13.1-37.293 or newer in the corresponding 13.1 FIPS / NDcPP branch

The absence of an older branch in the table does not confirm its security. If the vendor maintains a custom build, request their patch documentation. Verify running device instances, including cluster nodes, not just the presence of a downloaded update.

What to include in the work plan

  • Identify which websites and access methods depend on NetScaler and assign a responsible person for the update. CERT-EU recommends prioritizing Gateway and AAA components accessible from the internet.
  • Preserve the configuration before making changes and prepare a recovery plan; agree on a maintenance window and post-update verification.
  • Verify the correct update sequence and licensing conditions if NetScaler Console is in use.
  • After the update, confirm the active builds of all required nodes and verify website access, application login, and used remote connections.

Citrix warns: existing ICA sessions will end after the update and must be re-established. Consider this when scheduling the maintenance window. The vendor recommends updating ADC/Gateway before Console; a separate bulletin applies to Console itself, and the table above does not apply to it.

For some older Console installations using pooled or flexed licensing, the transition may be blocked by LAS conditions. The responsible person must verify the scenario in advance with the official FAQ and a partner, including the need for an agreed exemption. This news does not replace the migration instructions for a specific installation.

According to Citrix, cloud services under its management covered by the release have already been updated. This does not confirm updates to devices managed by the customer or their contractor, nor is it a statement regarding the security of the General iT infrastructure.

Expected Result

Request confirmation: which devices and editions were checked, which patched builds are actually working, and which functions were verified after maintenance. If signs of tampering are detected, a separate investigation with evidence preservation is required; installing a patch alone does not prove the previous compromise has been resolved.

Information verified on November 13, 2026, at 06:02 MSK. The news item and CERT-EU bulletin are dated November 12; the exact release time of the fixes is not specified here. No geographical restrictions for affected installations were mentioned in the reviewed reports.
