Critical Security Update
To help protect your systems, customers using NI driver software 2026 Q2 or earlier should visit ni.com/ni-pal-update and follow the recommended actions.
NI provides security updates for software products, firmware, drivers, and utilities. You can use this page to find published security advisories for NI software. Select a year below or visit the Release Notes for your software version, if applicable, to find update information.
NI also publishes security and functional updates through NI Update Service. Starting with NI Update Service 2026, security updates are distinguished from functional updates, and you can configure NI Update Service to automatically install security updates. NI recommends setting up NI Update Service to periodically check for updates so that relevant updates are automatically suggested based on your installed NI software. Download the latest version of NI Update Service.
The Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) is a standard for machine-readable security advisories. It is designed for the automated exchange of advisories when vulnerabilities are disclosed, or product dispositions are updated. NI’s public CSAF advisories can be found here.
