Summary
nxapplet.jar in No Machine NX Web Companion 3.x and earlier does not properly verify the authenticity of updates, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) SiteUrl or (2) RedirectUrl parameter that points to a Trojan Horse client.zip update file.
Exploit prediction
3.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 88% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-09).
