CVE-2026-19490: NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway Security Bulletin for CVE-2026-19490

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 77/100)

  • CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (Sep 9, 2026). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Sep 12, 2026.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 32.6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98.3% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Until a fix is released, restrict access to the affected component and follow the vendor's advisory.

Actively exploited in the wild

CISA added this to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on Sep 9, 2026. That signals real attacks, not theory.

Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Sep 12, 2026.
