CVE-2026-33030 Details
Description
Nginx UI is a web user interface for the Nginx web server. In versions 2.3.3 and prior, Nginx-UI contains an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability that allows any authenticated user to access, modify, and delete resources belonging to other users. The application's base Model struct lacks a user_id field, and all resource endpoints perform queries by ID without verifying user ownership, enabling complete authorization bypass in multi-user environments. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.
A vulnerability allowing Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) has been identified in Nginx UI versions through 2.3.3. This vulnerability enables authenticated users to access, modify, and delete resources belonging to other users. The issue arises because the application's base Model structure does not include a user_id field, and resource endpoints query by ID without verifying user ownership. This flaw creates a complete authorization bypass in multi-user environments. Additionally, sensitive data such as DNS API tokens and ACME private keys is stored in plaintext, exacerbating the vulnerability by allowing immediate credential theft without decryption.
To address this vulnerability, it is recommended to add user ownership fields to the application's data models, implement authorization checks to ensure users can only access their own resources, and encrypt sensitive data before storage.
