CVE-2026-10816: Arbitrary File Read (Unauthenticated)
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.57% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: NetScaler ADC 37.272, 63.18, 72.61; NetScaler Gateway 63.18, 72.61.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to NetScaler ADC 37.272, 63.18, 72.61; NetScaler Gateway 63.18, 72.61 or later.
