An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-42055 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- nginx (Bitnami): affected from 1.30.0; fixed in 1.30.3, 1.31.2\n- nginx-gateway (Bitnami): affected from 1.30.0; fixed in 1.30.3, 1.31.2\n- nginx-gateway-fabric (Bitnami): affected from 1.3.0; fixed in 2.6.4\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42055/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42055/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-42055","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42055/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-42055","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2026-42055","ALSA-2026:36331","ALSA-2026:36364","ALSA-2026:36618","ALSA-2026:36639","ALSA-2026:38847","AZL-91419","BELL-CVE-2026-42055","BIT-nginx-2026-42055","BIT-nginx-gateway-2026-42055","BIT-nginx-gateway-fabric-2026-42055","CLSA-2026-1783696553","CLSA-2026-1784714136","CLSA-2026-1784714329","CLSA-2026-1784714664","CLSA-2026-1784807256","CLSA-2026-1785845612","CLSA-2026-1790152715","CLSA-2026-1791460658","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-42055","ECHO-9157-e0cb-829d","GHSA-78jw-ww3g-9wp7","MINI-6vc5-946p-4683","MINI-cc2c-539f-h36r","MINI-f9f2-hh8p-rgf6","MINI-jhfq-rrgx-m8gf","MINI-mf8g-v3ff-j85r","MINI-v3cg-8fc7-c3qm","RHSA-2026:36331","RHSA-2026:36364","RHSA-2026:36618","RHSA-2026:36639","RHSA-2026:38847","RLSA-2026:36331","RLSA-2026:36364","RLSA-2026:36618","RLSA-2026:36639","RLSA-2026:38847","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-42055"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"NGINX web server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can trigger heap-based buffer overflows in NGINX via large headers, potentially causing service restarts or arbitrary code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"dos","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"nginx_gateway_fabric","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"nginx_ingress_controller","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"nginx_instance_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"nginx_open_source","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"nginx_plus","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"waf","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"discovery","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"hardened_images","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"update_infrastructure","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":9.2,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"},{"id":"CWE-131","name":"Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size"},{"id":"CWE-122","name":"Heap-based Buffer Overflow"}],"description":"NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_proxy_v2_module and ngx_http_grpc_module modules.

A remote, unauthenticated attacker, along with conditions beyond their control, could send large headers while creating an upstream request.
