Summary
Impact
Remote SSRF enables server requests to internal services and cloud metadata endpoints; can lead to credential theft, data exfiltration, and lateral pivoting.
Triage
The summary, impact and action text on this page are written by our AI analysis pipeline, or taken from the NVD description when a CVE was imported from NVD. They are not the vendor's wording: check them against the sources. A longer AI executive summary and technical analysis are generated for signed-in accounts on the Max plan.
Affected products
| Product | Affected versions | Vendor says fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| N-able N-central | < 26.4.1Vendor says fixed in: not stated |
As published in the CVE Program record. A version outside these ranges is not a statement that it is unaffected — vendors sometimes understate a range, and distribution-backported builds carry upstream numbers that do not reflect what was patched into them.

Fix and mitigation
Action required
Immediate action required
WAF and other mitigations
Can a WAF block it? No. The vulnerability is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) that allows an attacker to make the server access internal or cloud metadata. Such attacks typically use normal-looking HTTP requests that cause the server to fetch internal resources, so a WAF cannot reliably distinguish malicious from legitimate requests.

Common questions
Is CVE-2026-125881 being exploited?
Not confirmed. CVE-2026-125881 does not appear in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which records only exploitation that has been observed and reported publicly. That is evidence of absence of a report, not evidence the flaw is unattacked. EPSS currently estimates a 0.47% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.
How severe is CVE-2026-125881?
CVE-2026-125881 is rated Critical with a CVSS score of 9.3. Severity describes how bad exploitation would be, not how likely it is: pair it with exploitation evidence before deciding what to patch first.
Is there a patch for CVE-2026-125881?
Yes. A fix has been recorded for CVE-2026-125881. The vendor advisory is the authority on the exact fixed version — apply it from there rather than from a summary.
What does CVE-2026-125881 affect?
CVE-2026-125881 affects N-able N-central < 26.4.1. Confirm the exact affected versions against the vendor advisory before deciding you are exposed.
What should I do about CVE-2026-125881?
Upgrade N-central to 26.4.1+, restrict access to management interfaces, rotate exposed credentials.
