Nginx UI is a web user interface for the Nginx web server. Prior to version 2.3.5, all WebSocket endpoints in nginx-ui use a gorilla/websocket Upgrader with CheckOrigin unconditionally returning true, allowing Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH). Combined with the fact that authentication tokens are stored in browser cookies (set via JavaScript without HttpOnly or explicit SameSite attributes), a malicious webpage can establish authenticated WebSocket connections to the nginx-ui instance when a logged-in administrator visits the attacker-controlled page. Version 2.3.5 patches the issue.
AnalysisAI
nginx-ui before version 2.3.5 allows Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH) attacks due to improper WebSocket origin validation and insecurely configured authentication cookies. An attacker can trick a logged-in administrator into visiting a malicious webpage that establishes authenticated WebSocket connections to the target nginx-ui instance, enabling information disclosure and administrative actions without explicit user consent. …
