What’s New in N-central 2025.3.1
We’ve made several updates in N-central to help you work more securely, efficiently, and with greater control. From expanded audit logging for SSH and Scheduled Task activities to Device Management API updates.
Security Update
This release includes a critical security fix for CVE-2025-8875 and CVE-2025-8876. These vulnerabilities require authentication to exploit. However, there is a potential risk to the security of your N-central environment, if unpatched. You must upgrade your on-premises N-central to 2025.3.1. (Details of the CVEs will be published three weeks after the release as per our security practices.)
User Audit Log Export – Additional Audit Event
In earlier releases (24.6, 25.2, and 25.3), we introduced the ability to export user audit logs to a Syslog server, giving partners enhanced visibility into critical user actions across N-central. In 2025.3.1, we’ve added support for auditing the following user-initiated events:
- SSH Access:
- SSH Login
- SSH Logout
- Scheduled Task Management:
- Scheduled Task Edited
- Scheduled Task Deleted
- Scheduled Task Enabled
- Scheduled Task Disabled
- User Script Activity:
- Script Created
- Script Modified
- Script Deleted
To configure Syslog export and take full advantage of these features, see: Configure Syslog Export
Device Management API Updates
We’ve made it easier to manage devices and get the information you need through the N-central API:
- Add Devices Automatically. You can now use POST /api/device endpoint to create devices through the API – ideal for scaling environments, automating deployments, and saving time.
- See Application Names More Clearly. The GET /api/device/{deviceid}/asset call now includes the application name (application.displayName), so it’s easier to identify the installed applications on each device.
