CVE-2026-33031 Details
Description
Nginx UI is a web user interface for the Nginx web server. Prior to version 2.3.4, a user who was disabled by an administrator can use previously issued API tokens for up to the token lifetime. In practice, disabling a compromised account does not actually terminate that user’s access, so an attacker who already stole a JWT can continue reading and modifying protected resources after the account is marked disabled. Since tokens can be used to create new accounts, it is possible the disabled user to maintain the privilege. Version 2.3.4 patches the issue.
A vulnerability in Nginx UI prior to version 2.3.4 allows disabled users to continue using previously issued API tokens for the duration of the token's lifetime. This means that an attacker who has stolen a JSON Web Token (JWT) can still access and modify protected resources even after the account has been disabled. Additionally, since these tokens can be used to create new accounts, the disabled user could potentially retain privileges on a newly created account.
Users should update to Nginx UI version 2.3.4 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
