Why it matters

CVE-2026-107813 is a high-severity vulnerability in Nginx UI that allows authenticated users to perform sensitive operations without proper security checks. Defenders should prioritize patching and verifying configurations.

• Potential unauthorized node and namespace mutations
• Possible elevation of privileges
• Risk of sensitive data exposure
• Need for verification of AuthRequired and RequireSecureSession configurations

Technical summary

The api/cluster router in Nginx UI was not wrapped in RequireSecureSession, allowing authenticated OTP-enabled users with stolen or persisted JWTs to perform sensitive mutations without a fresh second-factor step-up. This issue affects Nginx UI versions 2.0.0 to 2.4.0 and can be exploited for node CRUD, read or replace node credentials, change namespaces, and invoke nodes/reload_nginx or nodes/restart_nginx. The vulnerability is an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-84315 and is fixed in version 2.5.0. Defenders should prioritize patching and verifying configurations.
