CISA added CVE-2026-8452—an unauthenticated memory-overflow in Citrix NetScaler ADC/Gateway that can be chained to remote code execution—to its KEV catalog and required rapid remediation. A public patch and PoC were released; researchers and vendors observed active exploitation where attackers dropped web shells ("x.php", "z.php") and ran discovery commands, and five additional older vulnerabilities were also added to the KEV list.
