## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in N-central's upgrade package handling mechanism, which downloads and executes code without verifying its cryptographic signature or integrity. An attacker can upload a malicious NSP (N-able Service Package) file or intercept package downloads to inject arbitrary code. This allows remote code execution with the privileges of the N-central service.
