Will CISA add a Citrix NetScaler CVE to its KEV catalog by 15 October 2026?
Posted 2026-09-28 — 17 days before the deadline, stated before the outcome.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintains the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog to list software flaws actively used in cyberattacks. Citrix NetScaler is a widely deployed network appliance that has historically been targeted by threat actors exploiting security vulnerabilities.
The claim
CISA adds at least one Citrix NetScaler CVE from the September 2026 exploited zero-days to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog by 2026-10-15.
Reasoning trace
- Citrix confirms active exploitation
- Federal agencies use NetScaler broadly
- CISA reviews vendor advisory
- KEV catalog update issued with BOD 22-01 deadline
