What is CVE-2024-22196?
CVE-2024-22196 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in 0xJacky nginx-ui, published on 11 Jan 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Nginx-UI is an online statistics for Server Indicators Monitor CPU usage, memory usage, load average, and disk usage in real-time. This issue may lead to information disclosure. By using `DefaultQuery`, the `"desc"` and `"id"` values are used as default values if the query parameters are not set. Thus, the `order` and `sort_by` query parameter are user-controlled and are being appended to the `order` variable without any sanitization. This issue has been patched in version 2.0.0.beta.9.
Weakness: CWE-89
