# Security digest: August 1, 2026

1 editorial brief.

## Take stock

- Act now: N-able N-central: Exploited Auth Bypass and Pre-Auth RCE . MSPs and IT teams running on-premises (self-hosted) N-central, above all where the console is reachable from the internet or was patched more than a few days after each hotfix.
- None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.

## Editorial briefs

- **Act now** [N-able N-central: Exploited Auth Bypass and Pre-Auth RCE](https://erroneo.us/security/briefs/n-able-n-central-auth-bypass-pre-auth-rce-kev/index.md): Any self-hosted N-central server below 2026.3.1.14 should be treated as exposed and patched today, and any server that was patched late needs a compromise review, because one stolen RMM console reaches every managed endpoint.

## Known exploited (CISA KEV)

None.

## Critical advisories

None.
