CVE Summary Severity CVSS EPSS Priority Signals
CVE-2026-42945 Heap buffer overflow in NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source ngx_http_rewrite_module allows remote attackers to crash worker processes and potentially execute code on systems without ASLR. The vulnerability requires specific rewrite directive configurations using PCRE captures with question marks in replacement strings, combined with attacker-crafted HTTP requests and conditions beyond the attacker's control. F5 has released patches addressing this critical flaw. EPSS data unavailable; no KEV listing or public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the specific configuration requirements and dependency on external conditions likely limit widespread exploitation despite the 9.2 CVSS score. CRITICAL 9.2 0.2% 76
PoC
CVE-2026-42530 Use-after-free in NGINX Open Source's ngx_http_v3_module allows remote unauthenticated attackers to crash worker processes and potentially execute arbitrary code on hosts where HTTP/3 QUIC is enabled. Exploitation requires a specially crafted HTTP/3 session that reopens a QPACK encoder stream, with code execution contingent on ASLR being disabled or bypassed; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though SSVC technical impact is rated total. CRITICAL 9.2 0.8% 67
PoC
CVE-2026-42055 Heap-based buffer overflow in NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source affects deployments that proxy HTTP/2 or gRPC traffic upstream when ignore_invalid_headers is off and large_client_header_buffers exceeds 2 MB. Remote unauthenticated attackers sending oversized headers can crash the worker process, and where ASLR is disabled or bypassable, achieve arbitrary code execution. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and CISA SSVC marks exploitation as 'none', but technical impact is rated total. CRITICAL 9.2 0.6% 67
PoC
CVE-2026-9256 Heap buffer overflow in NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source ngx_http_rewrite_module can be triggered by unauthenticated remote attackers sending crafted HTTP requests that target rewrite directives using overlapping PCRE captures (e.g., $1$2 referencing ^/((.*))$) in redirect or arguments contexts. Impact ranges from worker process crash/restart to arbitrary code execution where ASLR is disabled or bypassed; publicly available exploit code exists, though EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.15%, 35th percentile) and the issue is not in CISA KEV. CRITICAL 9.2 0.1% 66
PoC
CVE-2026-58467 Arbitrary file disclosure and PHP local file inclusion in Cockpit CMS before release 364 lets unauthenticated remote attackers read files outside the web root and, on certain server setups, cause the application to include() attacker-chosen .php files. The flaw stems from unvalidated PATH_INFO (derived from REQUEST_URI) being used to build filesystem paths without containment checks. Publicly available exploit code exists; it is not listed in CISA KEV and no EPSS score was provided. HIGH 8.2 0.4% 61
PoC
CVE-2026-49975 Denial of service in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.17 through 2.4.67 (via the bundled mod_http2 module) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exhaust server memory by sending crafted HTTP/2 requests whose cookie headers are not correctly counted against LimitRequestFields. Publicly available exploit code exists and a third-party write-up describes a 'hidden HTTP/2 bomb,' but EPSS exploitation probability is currently very low (0.02%, 5th percentile) and the CVE is not on the CISA KEV list. HIGH 7.5 0.0% 58
PoC
CVE-2026-58446 Authentication bypass in Presenton's bundled MCP server exposes server and Docker deployments to unauthenticated remote exploitation via the unprotected /mcp endpoint. When operators configure session authentication using AUTH_USERNAME/AUTH_PASSWORD, nginx enforces access control on all paths except /mcp, which is absent from the auth_request gate - and the MCP server compounds this by auto-minting valid internal session tokens for the configured user on any incoming request. An unauthenticated remote attacker can therefore invoke MCP tools such as generate_presentation as if fully authenticated, consuming the operator's LLM API keys and writing arbitrary presentations to the instance. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists; no active exploitation confirmed in CISA KEV. MEDIUM 6.9 0.4% 55
PoC
CVE-2026-42220 nginx-ui prior to version 2.3.8 exposes sensitive configuration values including node.secret via an authenticated GET /api/settings endpoint, allowing an authenticated user to retrieve the shared authentication secret and subsequently impersonate the init administrative user by sending requests with the stolen node.secret via the X-Node-Secret header or node_secret query parameter. This enables privilege escalation and full administrative access to the Nginx configuration interface without additional authentication. MEDIUM 6.5 0.0% 53
PoC
CVE-2026-9508 Unauthenticated backup file disclosure in Suprema BioStar 2 server (versions 2.9.3 through 2.9.11) allows remote attackers to download sensitive backup ZIP archives directly via predictable '/download/' URLs when the administrator places the backup path inside the NGINX webroot. The exposed archives can contain database credentials and cryptographic material enabling server impersonation, database compromise, and lateral movement. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but SSVC rates the flaw as automatable with total technical impact and CVSS 4.0 scores it 10.0. CRITICAL 10.0 0.1% 50
CVE-2026-45552 Privilege escalation and cross-tenant compromise in Roxy-WI versions 8.2.6.4 and prior allows any authenticated user - including the default guest role 4 - to install or reconfigure exporters, WAF, and GeoIP databases on every managed server regardless of tenant ownership. Because the affected installer endpoints lack role and group decorators, low-privilege users can pivot through stored SSH credentials with sudo to achieve root-level command execution on HAProxy/Nginx/Apache hosts belonging to other tenants. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the issue is unpatched and rated CVSS 9.9. CRITICAL 9.9 0.0% 50
No patch
CVE-2026-45556 Remote code execution in Roxy-WI versions 8.2.6.4 and prior allows authenticated users to write attacker-controlled content to arbitrary absolute paths on managed load balancers via the WAF rule save endpoint. By dropping a malicious cron file (e.g., /etc/cron.d/nginx_cfg_evil), an attacker achieves root-level code execution on every load balancer in the caller's group. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no vendor-released patch is currently available, making this a high-priority issue for any exposed deployment. CRITICAL 9.9 0.1% 50
No patch
CVE-2026-45558 Remote code execution in Roxy-WI versions 8.2.6.4 and prior allows authenticated low-privilege users (role ≤ 3) to inject arbitrary HAProxy directives via unvalidated JSON option fields in the HAProxy section-save API endpoints, achieving command execution as the haproxy user on every managed load balancer. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack is straightforward given the documented injection path through the section.j2, global.j2, and defaults.j2 Ansible templates, and no vendor-released patch is available. CRITICAL 9.9 0.2% 50
No patch
CVE-2026-42581 HTTP request smuggling in Netty's netty-codec-http (HttpObjectDecoder) lets remote attackers desynchronize message boundaries by sending an HTTP/1.0 request carrying both Transfer-Encoding: chunked and Content-Length. Netty's anti-smuggling sanitization that strips the conflicting Content-Length header only runs for HTTP/1.1, so on HTTP/1.0 Netty parses the body as chunked while leaving Content-Length intact for any downstream Content-Length-first proxy, which then treats trailing chunk bytes as a new request. Publicly available exploit code exists (a working EmbeddedChannel PoC test), but EPSS is very low (0.03%, 8th percentile) and it is not in CISA KEV. CRITICAL 9.8 0.0% 49
CVE-2026-5524 Arbitrary file upload leading to remote code execution in the Divi Form Builder WordPress plugin (versions through 5.1.8) lets unauthenticated attackers upload executable PHP files and run arbitrary code on the server. Attacker-controlled input from the acceptFileTypes POST parameter is interpolated directly into the file-validation regex in do_image_upload(), allowing alternate PHP extensions (.phtml, .phar, .php5, .php7) that evade the plugin's .php-only .htaccess block - and on Nginx the .htaccess protection does not apply at all. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV, but the CVSS 9.8 rating and Wordfence's technical disclosure make this a high-priority patching target. CRITICAL 9.8 0.5% 49
No patch
CVE-2026-54617 Arbitrary file read in GravitLauncher LaunchServer ≤ 5.7.11 lets an unauthenticated remote attacker retrieve any file readable by the server process via a path-traversal in the default-enabled HTTP file server on port 9274. Because the exposed files include the ECDSA key that signs access JWTs (.keys/ecdsa_id), the refresh-token salt, and database credentials, the flaw escalates from information disclosure to a full authentication bypass allowing forged admin tokens. Publicly available exploit code exists (a raw-socket PoC in the advisory); the issue is not listed in CISA KEV and no active exploitation is confirmed. CRITICAL 9.8 – 49
