CVE-2024-22198: Nginxui Nginx UI

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 4.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Nginx-UI is a web interface to manage Nginx configurations. It is vulnerable to arbitrary command execution by abusing the configuration settings. The `Home > Preference` page exposes a list of system settings such as `Run Mode`, `Jwt Secret`, `Node Secret` and `Terminal Start Command`. While the UI doesn't allow users to modify the `Terminal Start Command` setting, it is possible to do so by sending a request to the API. This issue may lead to authenticated remote code execution, privilege escalation, and information disclosure. This vulnerability has been patched in version 2.0.0.beta.9.

Affected products

• Nginxui Nginx UI: before 2.0.0 (fixed in 2.0.0); version 2.0.0 only
