N-able N-Central Flaws Added to CISA's KEV Catalog: A Call to Action for MSPs and Private Orgs

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has taken another step in its efforts to protect the nation's networks from cyber threats by adding vulnerabilities in N-able N-Central to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. This move aims to ensure that federal agencies, as well as private organizations, take necessary steps to address these known exploits and prevent potential attacks.

N-able N-Central is a Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) platform designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to centrally manage and secure Windows, Apple, and Linux endpoints. The latest update, version 2025.3.1, addresses two critical vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-8875 and CVE-2025-8876. While authentication is required to exploit these vulnerabilities, there is a potential risk to the security of N-central environments if they remain unpatched.

According to CISA's Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, federal agencies are mandated to address identified vulnerabilities by their due date. This means that federal agencies must fix these vulnerabilities in their infrastructure by August 20, 2025.

Experts recommend that private organizations review the KEV catalog and take immediate action to address these vulnerabilities in their own infrastructure. By doing so, they can prevent potential attacks and ensure the security of their networks.

The Importance of Addressing Known Exploited Vulnerabilities

CISA's efforts to list known exploited vulnerabilities in its KEV catalog serve as a critical reminder of the importance of cybersecurity. These vulnerabilities highlight the need for organizations to stay vigilant and proactive in addressing potential threats to their networks.

By adding N-able N-Central flaws to the KEV catalog, CISA is providing federal agencies and private organizations with valuable intelligence on known exploits. This information can be used to inform patching strategies, improve network security, and prevent potential attacks.

What Can Be Done

Organizations can take several steps to address these vulnerabilities:

  • Federal agencies must fix the identified vulnerabilities in their infrastructure by August 20, 2025.
  • Private organizations should review the KEV catalog and implement patching strategies to address potential vulnerabilities.
  • MSPs using N-able N-Central should upgrade to version 2025.3.1 to ensure they have the latest security fix for CVE-2025-8875 and CVE-2025-8876.

By taking these steps, organizations can help prevent potential attacks and ensure the security of their networks. It is essential to stay informed about known exploited vulnerabilities and take proactive measures to address them.
