SCA: security update for github.com/0xJacky/Nginx-UI (GHSA-9jww-cxg5-rj9m)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474714

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Nginx UI is a web user interface for the Nginx web server. From 2.0.0-rc.6 until 2.4.1, the MCP tool
 nginx_config_add writes nginx configuration files to disk and triggers an nginx reload without calling
 config.ValidateConfigFile. The identical flow in the REST API (POST /api/configs) does call that function
 and correctly rejects dangerous directives. An authenticated attacker can exploit this gap to write config
 files containing any blocked directive (perl, js_import, load_module, user root, etc.), bypassing nginx-
 ui's entire security layer. On a server with the nginx Perl, njs, or Lua module loaded, this is post-
 authentication Remote Code Execution. This issue is fixed in version 2.4.1. (CVE-2026-84318)

Solution

Update the github.com/0xJacky/Nginx-UI library and its related packages to version 1.9.10-0.20260703131214-23d1934099b0 or later.
