AI-suggested
A fixed version 1.6.26 or later is implied but not explicitly stated in the provided data. Until a fix is confirmed, restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint and monitor for suspicious activity related to SQL injection attempts.
Description
NginxPulse versions from 1.5.0 up to but not including 1.6.26 contain an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the /api/stats/:type endpoint. This flaw allows remote attackers to manipulate the id and locationType parameters to execute arbitrary SQL commands. Exploitation can lead to reading database contents and reading or writing server files via PostgreSQL superuser functions.
