N-able ships N-central emergency fix after 33 exploits published
Hosted N-central was taken offline worldwide, and on-premises customers were told to shut servers down until 2026.4 HF2.
Missing-auth privilege escalation in N-able N-central before 2026.4.1
N-able N-central lacks authentication on a critical function, allowing privilege escalation. A local attacker who already has low privileges can trigger it with no user interaction and gain high confidentiality and integrity impact on the host, with limited availability impact. N-central installations before 2026.4.1 are affected.
What to do: Upgrade N-central to 2026.4.1. No workaround is stated.
| Product | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| N-able N-central | before 2026.4.1 | 2026.4.1 |
