On August 2, 2026, N-able published a security advisory for CVE-2026-18577, an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting N-central that was discovered being exploited in-the-wild after an incomplete fix for an earlier authentication bypass issue, CVE-2026-18556 was disclosed. CVE-2026-18577 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication and obtain administrative control of vulnerable N-central servers in affected deployments.
N-able N-central is a widely deployed Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) platform used by managed service providers (MSPs) and enterprise IT teams to centrally administer servers, workstations, network devices, and other managed assets. Because the platform operates with extensive administrative privileges across customer environments, successful compromise of an N-central server can provide attackers with an efficient path to compromise downstream managed systems.
