CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedNGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source are vulnerable due to a flaw in the ngx_http_ssi_module when configured with Server-Side Includes (SSI), proxy_pass, and proxy_buffering off directives. An unauthenticated attacker with man-in-the-middle capabilities could exploit this to trigger a use-after-free condition, potentially leading to limited memory modification or a restart of the NGINX worker process. Organizations using these NGINX configurations should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Original NVD Description
NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_ssi_module module. This vulnerability may exist when the Server-Side Includes (SSI), proxy_pass, and proxy_buffering off directives are configured. With this configuration, an unauthenticated attacker with man-in-the-middle (MITM) ability to control responses from an upstream server may be able to cause a use-after-free in the NGINX worker process. This issue may lead to limited modification of memory or a restart of the NGINX worker process. Impact: This vulnerability may allow remote attackers to have limited control to modify memory contents or restart the NGINX worker process. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
