An oversized PrefixList inside the  InclusiveNamespaces element overflows a fixed-size buffer, corrupting adjacent nsb chunk metadata. This yields a write-what-where primitive (controlled memcpy src/dst), allowing overwrite of tx_pkt_complete_fptr and jump to attacker shellcode on the executable heap. Results in root RCE when NetScaler is configured as SAML SP or IdP.\n\nAffected: NetScaler ADC/Gateway 14.1 &lt; 14.1-72.61 and 13.1 &lt; 13.1-63.18\n\n\ud83d\udd17 Research:\nhttps://labs.watchtowr.com/youre-back-in-the-room-citrix-netscaler-pre-auth-rce-cve-2026-8452/\n\n\ud83d\udd17 Source:\nhttps://github.com/watchtowrlabs/watchTowr-vs-Citrix-Netscaler-PreAuth-RCE-CVE-2026-8452\n\n#citrix #netscaler #rce #preauth #saml #heapoverflow", "creation_timestamp": "2026-08-23T00:00:13.195193Z"}
