AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, restrict manage permissions to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious configuration changes. Avoid granting manage permissions broadly.

Description

Nginx Proxy Manager versions up to 2.16.0 contain an authorization flaw that allows non-administrator users with manage permissions to inject arbitrary nginx directives via the advanced_config field. This improper restriction can enable attackers to manipulate nginx configurations, such as serving arbitrary files or controlling routing for their assigned hosts.
