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-2026-97205 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- nginx (Bitnami): affected from 1.30.0; fixed in 1.30.6, 1.31.7\n- nginx-gateway (Bitnami): affected from 1.30.0; fixed in 1.30.6, 1.31.7\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-2026-97205/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97205/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-97205","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97205/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-97205","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2026-97205","AZL-108443","BELL-CVE-2026-97205","BIT-nginx-2026-97205","BIT-nginx-gateway-2026-97205","CLSA-2026-1792571502","CLSA-2026-1792589925","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-97205","ECHO-51e2-f0ff-4908","GHSA-ff5w-vvxc-fm9x","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-97205","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-97205"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"NGINX web server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service or execute code via a use-after-free in NGINX when asynchronous I/O and SSI are enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.2,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_core_module module. When asynchronous file I/O (AIO) is enabled in certain configurations, processing a Server Side Includes (SSI) page containing “include virtual” commands may trigger a Use-After-Free (UAF) in the NGINX worker process. This may cause memory corruption or a worker process crash. Additionally, attackers can execute code on systems with Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) disabled or when the attacker can bypass ASLR.\n\nImpact:\nThis vulnerability may allow remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) on the NGINX system, corrupt its memory, or possibly trigger code execution. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.\n\nNote: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-10-15","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":1,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-10-15T10:48:17Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/suominen/CVE-2026-97205","stars":1,"title":null}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"NGINX ngx_http_core_module vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-97205","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) path-migration can lead to use-after-free on multi-threaded deployments.","id":"CVE-2026-97206"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["1.30.6","1.31.7"],"introduced":["1.30.0","1.31.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"nginx","purl":"pkg:bitnami/nginx","source":"BIT-nginx-2026-97205"},{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["1.30.6","1.31.7"],"introduced":["1.30.0","1.31.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"nginx-gateway","purl":"pkg:bitnami/nginx-gateway","source":"BIT-nginx-gateway-2026-97205"}],"prev":{"headline":"Gitea label deletion across repository and organization IDs","id":"CVE-2026-97204"},"products":["NGINX Open Source","NGINX Plus"],"published":"2026-10-14","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["F5"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service or execute code via a use-after-free in NGINX when asynchronous I/O and SSI are enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97205/"}
