DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was determined in cym1102 nginxWebUI up to 4.4.2. This issue affects the function MainController.autoUpdate of the file /adminPage/main/autoUpdate. This manipulation of the argument url causes code injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The pull request to fix this issue awaits acceptance.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in cym1102 nginxWebUI up to 4.4.2 is achievable by any authenticated user via the autoUpdate endpoint, which accepts an arbitrary url parameter and downloads and executes the resulting JAR file on the host OS without domain validation. A public proof-of-concept is disclosed in GitHub issue #213, and a fix exists only as an unmerged PR (#215) - no released patched version has been confirmed. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session on the nginxWebUI admin panel (PR:L - any logged-in account that can reach the `/adminPage/` namespace). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector correctly identifies network access and low-privilege authentication (AV:N/PR:L) but assigns anomalously low impact (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) that does not reflect the actual OS-level code execution capability of arbitrary JAR execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No released patched version has been independently confirmed - the fix is available as unmerged PR #215 at https://github.com/cym1102/nginxWebUI/pull/215, which operators building from source can apply manually. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
