Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-42223 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 2.3.8\n- github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 2.3.8\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-2026-42223/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42223/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-42223","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42223/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-42223","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q4w7-56hr-83rm","GO-2026-5565"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Nginx web UI","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can retrieve sensitive secrets like JWT and OIDC keys via the Settings API, enabling token forgery and account takeover.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"nginx_ui","vendor":"nginxui"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Nginx UI is a web user interface for the Nginx web server. Prior to version 2.3.8, the GetSettings API handler (api/settings/settings.go:24-65) serializes all settings structs to JSON and returns them to authenticated users. Many sensitive fields are tagged with protected:\"true\" - however, this tag is only enforced during writes (via ProtectedFill in SaveSettings) and is completely ignored during reads. This exposes 40+ protected fields including JwtSecret (enabling auth token forgery), NodeSecret (enabling cluster node impersonation), OIDC ClientSecret (enabling OAuth account takeover), and the IP whitelist configuration.
