CVE-2026-18577 is an authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel in N-able N-central, resulting from incomplete remediation of CVE-2026-18556. It allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to take over an account and obtain administrative control of the N-central management console without user interaction. Affected releases are described as versions through 2026.3.1, including hosted and on-premises deployments. The vulnerability has been actively exploited. Administrative compromise of this remote monitoring and management platform also exposes downstream managed endpoints. Full technical root-cause and exploit-input details are not available.
