CVE-2026-50107
NGINX Gateway Fabric vulnerability
Overview
Description

When NGINX Plus or NGINX Open Source is configured as the data plane for NGINX Gateway Fabric, an injection vulnerability exists in the NGINX configuration generator component of NGINX Gateway Fabric. User-supplied string values from the NginxProxy Custom Resource Definition (CRD) access log format setting are rendered directly into NGINX configuration templates without sanitization or escaping. An authenticated attacker with permission to create or modify these CRDs may craft values that inject arbitrary NGINX configuration directives. This is a control plane issue; there is no data plane exposure from the vulnerability trigger itself. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Solution
Update NGINX Gateway Fabric to a version that sanitizes user input for NGINX configuration.
  • Update NGINX Gateway Fabric to the latest version.
  • Review and sanitize all NginxProxy CRD access log formats.
  • Ensure NGINX configuration templates properly escape user input.
  • Restrict creation/modification of CRDs to trusted users.

    Added Translation Title: NGINX Gateway Fabric de F5, Description: Cuando NGINX Plus o NGINX Open Source está configurado como el plano de datos para NGINX Gateway Fabric, existe una vulnerabilidad de inyección en el componente generador de configuración de NGINX Gateway Fabric. Los valores de cadena proporcionados por el usuario de la configuración del formato del registro de acceso de la Definición de Recurso Personalizado (CRD) NginxProxy se renderizan directamente en las plantillas de configuración de NGINX sin sanitización ni escape. Un atacante autenticado con permiso para crear o modificar estas CRD puede elaborar valores que inyecten directivas de configuración de NGINX arbitrarias. Este es un problema del plano de control; no hay exposición del plano de datos desde el propio disparador de la vulnerabilidad. Nota: Las versiones de software que han alcanzado el Fin del Soporte Técnico (EoTS) no se evalúan.
