Nginx UI: Nginx-UI vulnerable to authenticated RCE through injecting into the application config via CRLF (CVE-2024-23828)
### Summary Fix bypass to the following bugs - https://github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui/security/advisories/GHSA-pxmr-q2x3-9x9m - https://github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui/security/advisories/GHSA-8r25-68wm-jw35 Allowing to inject directly in the `app.ini` via CRLF to change the value of `test_config_cmd` and `start_cmd` resulting in an Authenticated RCE ### Impact Authenticated Remote execution on the host
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in github.com/0xJacky/Nginx-UI (CVE-2024-23828) enables an authenticated attacker to inject CRLF sequences into the app.ini configuration file. By doing so, the attacker can alter the values of 'test_config_cmd' and 'start_cmd' parameters, resulting in remote code execution on the host system. This issue is a bypass of prior security advisories GHSA-pxmr-q2x3-9x9m and GHSA-8r25-68wm-jw35. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component).
Potential Impact
An authenticated user can execute arbitrary commands on the host running Nginx-UI by injecting malicious configuration entries. This leads to remote code execution with the privileges of the application, potentially compromising the host system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are currently provided. Until a fix is available, restrict access to trusted authenticated users only and monitor for unusual configuration changes.
