CVE-2026-84316 Details
Description
Nginx UI is a web user interface for the Nginx web server. Prior to 2.4.1, config.ValidateConfigDirectives splits configuration by newline and checks only the first directive token on each line even though Nginx permits multiple semicolon-separated directives on one line. An authenticated caller can place a benign directive first and a restricted load_module, js_import, perl, or user root directive later on the same line, or can use an unrestricted include directive to load restricted content. These mechanisms bypass validation on REST, nginx_config_modify, site, and stream write paths; when an executable module is available, the injected configuration can execute code in the Nginx worker context. This issue is fixed in version 2.4.1.
A vulnerability in Nginx UI versions prior to 2.4.1 allows authenticated users to bypass configuration validation and inject restricted directives, leading to remote code execution. The issue arises because the validation process only checks the first directive token of each line, while Nginx allows multiple directives on the same line. An authenticated user can exploit this by placing a benign directive first, followed by a restricted directive, or by using an unrestricted include directive to load restricted content. This vulnerability affects several different versions and/or ranges.
Users can update to Nginx UI version 2.4.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
