A maximum-severity remote-code-execution vulnerability in N-able N-central that permits unprivileged, low-complexity remote execution of malicious code on unpatched internet-exposed instances.
A critical pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability affecting self-hosted/on-premises N-able N-central servers. Successful exploitation could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute commands on the central management server, creating downstream risk to managed endpoints, networks, credentials, and administrative tooling.
A critical pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability in N-able N-central. An unauthenticated attacker could potentially execute commands on an exposed N-central server, creating substantial downstream risk because the platform centrally manages customer endpoints, networks, credentials, and administrative tools.
Maximum-severity, pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability in N-able N-central, caused by static code injection (CWE-96). It affects all builds prior to 2026.3.1.14 and requires Hotfix 4.
