About this tag
The nginx security tag covers recent NGINX vulnerability reports and update guidance for administrators. Current coverage includes CVE-2026-56434, a configuration-dependent use-after-free in the ngx_http_ssi_module when SSI, proxy_pass, disabled buffering, and a manipulable upstream response are involved. It also includes CVE-2026-42533, a heap buffer overflow associated with the map directive, regular-expression captures, dynamic variables, and request-controlled input. The discussions explain why these issues do not affect every deployment, while outlining potential worker crashes, availability impact, and possible code-execution risk. Recommended fixed versions include NGINX 1.30.4 and 1.31.3, depending on the vulnerability.
