cve-program · CVE-2026-33029
PublishedNginx UI is a web user interface for the Nginx web server. Prior to version 2.3.4, an input validation vulnerability in the logrotate configuration allows an authenticated user to cause a complete Denial of Service (DoS). By submitting a negative integer for the rotation interval, the backend enters an infinite loop or an invalid state, rendering the web interface unresponsive. This issue has been patched in version 2.3.4.

Published### Summary An input validation vulnerability in the logrotate configuration allows an authenticated user to cause a complete Denial of Service (DoS). By submitting a negative integer for the rotation interval, the backend enters an infinite loop or an invalid state, rendering the web interface unresponsive. ### Details The vulnerability exists in the handler for the POST /api/settings endpoint. Specifically, the logrotate.interval field is accepted as a signed integer without lower-bound verification. When a negative value is processed by the backend logic responsible for scheduling or calculating the next rotation, it triggers a non-terminating loop. This consumes CPU resources and prevents the Go web server from handling further concurrent requests. **Environment:** - OS: Kali Linux 6.17.10-1kali1 (6.17.10+kali-amd64) - nginx-ui version: 2.3.3 (513) e5da6dd (go1.26.0 linux/amd64) - Deployment: Docker container - Run Command: ``` docker run -dit \ --name=nginx-ui \ --restart=always \ -v /mnt/user4/appdata/nginx:/etc/nginx \ -v /mnt/user4/appdata/nginx-ui:/etc/nginx-ui \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ -p 8080:80 -p 8443:443 \ uozi/nginx-ui:latest ``` ### PoC 1. Authenticate to the nginx-ui dashboard. 2. Send a POST request to /api/settings (using Burp Suite, Postman, or curl). 3. Set the payload as follows: ``` . . . { "logrotate": { "enabled": true, "cmd": "logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/nginx", "interval": -1 } } . . . ``` 4. Observe that the web server stops responding to all subsequent requests immediately after the injection. <img width="1041" height="390" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b746a91a-dd63-4f5e-b1a8-382b9d08e181" /> ### Impact This is a High-availability vulnerability (CWE-20: Improper Input Validation). Any authenticated user with access to settings can permanently hang the service. A patched version of nginx-ui is available at https://github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui/releases/tag/v2.3.4.
