CVE-2026-27944

Nginx UI is a web user interface for the Nginx web server. Prior to version 2.3.3, the /api/backup endpoint is accessible without authentication and discloses the encryption keys required to decrypt the backup in the X-Backup-Security response header. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to download a full system backup containing sensitive data (user credentials, session tokens, SSL private keys, Nginx configurations) and decrypt it immediately. This issue has been patched in version 2.3.3.

Summary
  • (es) Nginx UI es una interfaz de usuario web para el servidor web Nginx. Antes de la versión 2.3.3, el endpoint /api/backup es accesible sin autenticación y revela las claves de cifrado necesarias para descifrar la copia de seguridad en el encabezado de respuesta X-Backup-Security. Esto permite a un atacante no autenticado descargar una copia de seguridad completa del sistema que contiene datos sensibles (credenciales de usuario, tokens de sesión, claves privadas SSL, configuraciones de Nginx) y descifrarla inmediatamente. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 2.3.3.
