CVE-2026-10816: CWE-73 External control of file name or path in NetScaler ADC
Arbitrary File Read (Unauthenticated) in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway if the access to NSIP, Cluster Management IP or SNIP with management access is enabled
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-10816) affects NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway products, specifically versions 13.1 and 14.1. It involves CWE-73, external control of file name or path, enabling unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the system when access to management IP addresses (NSIP, Cluster Management IP, or SNIP) is enabled. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.1, indicating high severity, with attack vector being adjacent network and no privileges or user interaction required. The vendor has not yet provided an official fix or remediation level.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker with access to the network segment adjacent to the vulnerable device can read arbitrary files on the system if management IP access is enabled. This could lead to disclosure of sensitive information stored on the device. There is no indication of privilege escalation or code execution in the provided data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to NSIP, Cluster Management IP, and SNIP interfaces to trusted networks only to reduce exposure. Monitor vendor communications for updates on patches or official mitigations.
