How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2026-107804, inspect your project dependencies for Nginx UI:

inspect dependencies for github.com/0xJacky/Nginx-UI

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Nginx UI in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.9.10-0.20260904075558-e30e331303fc), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-346: Origin Validation Error, where the product does not properly verify that the source of data or communication is valid. In Nginx UI, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

## Summary In Nginx UI versions 2.2.0 through 2.5.x, the official bundled reverse-proxy topology did not preserve the external client identity used by Gin. The backend treated the local proxy peer as the client because no trusted proxy was configured, while the proxy supplied the actual address in forwarding headers. ## Impact This has two distinct effects in bundled-proxy deployments: * **IP allowlist enforcement:** management API requests forwarded by the bundled proxy were identified as loopback and could pass the loopback exception even when the external source was not in the configured allowlist. Protected management operations still required valid credentials; this did not grant unauthenticated administrator access. * **Login availability:** failed login attempts from different external sources were attributed to one loopback address. An unauthenticated attacker could therefore trigger the shared temporary login-ban threshold and deny password or OTP login to other users behind the proxy until the ban expired. Existing authenticated sessions were not invalidated. ## Remediation Upgrade to Nginx UI 2.6.0 or later. The fix explicitly trusts only the intended bundled proxy, validates configured trusted proxies, uses the resolved client address consistently, and fails closed when an IP allowlist is enabled but the client address is invalid.
