{"id":"CVE-2026-60005","details":"NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_slice_module module. When the slice directive and unnamed regex captures are configured or when a background cache update happens, unauthenticated attackers can send requests that may cause uninitialized memory access in the NGINX worker process, leading to limited disclosure of memory or a restart.\n\nImpact:\nThis vulnerability may allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to have limited control to disclose memory contents or restart the NGINX worker process. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.\nNote: The ngx_http_slice_module module is not enabled by default; it's enabled with the --with-http_slice_module configuration parameter.\n\nNote: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.","aliases":["BIT-nginx-2026-60005","BIT-nginx-gateway-2026-60005"],"modified":"2026-08-12T04:18:32.586002113Z","published":"2026-07-15T16:16:49.820Z","related":["CGA-qr32-8x48-96c2","openSUSE-SU-2026:11295-1"],"database_specific":{"unresolved_ranges":[{"source":"CPE_RANGE","vendor_product":"f5:nginx_app_protect_waf","cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_app_protect_waf:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"4.11.0"},{"last_affected":"4.16.0"},{"introduced":"5.2.0"},{"last_affected":"5.8.0"}]},{"vendor_product":"f5:nginx_ingress_controller","cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_ingress_controller:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"3.5.0"},{"last_affected":"3.7.2"},{"introduced":"5.0.0"},{"fixed":"5.5.3"},{"introduced":"2026-lts-r1"},{"fixed":"2026-lts-r4"}],"source":"CPE_RANGE"},{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_instance_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"2.17.0"},{"fixed":"2.22.2"}],"source":"CPE_RANGE","vendor_product":"f5:nginx_instance_manager"},{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"37.0.0.1"},{"fixed":"37.0.3.1"},{"introduced":"r33"},{"fixed":"r36"}],"source":"CPE_RANGE","vendor_product":"f5:nginx_plus","cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_plus:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"]},{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:f5:waf:*:*:*:*:*:nginx:*:*"],"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"5.9.0"},{"fixed":"5.13.4"}],"source":"CPE_RANGE","vendor_product":"f5:waf"},{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_ingress_controller:4.0.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_ingress_controller:4.0.1:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"4.0.0"},{"last_affected":"4.0.0"},{"introduced":"4.0.1"},{"last_affected":"4.0.1"}],"source":"CPE_STRING","vendor_product":"f5:nginx_ingress_controller"},{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_plus:37.0.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_plus:r36:-:*:*:*:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_plus:r36:p1:*:*:*:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_plus:r36:p2:*:*:*:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_plus:r36:p3:*:*:*:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_plus:r36:p4:*:*:*:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_plus:r36:p5:*:*:*:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_plus:r36:p6:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"37.0.0"},{"last_affected":"37.0.0"},{"introduced":"r36-NA"},{"last_affected":"r36-NA"},{"introduced":"r36-p1"},{"last_affected":"r36-p1"},{"introduced":"r36-p2"},{"last_affected":"r36-p2"},{"introduced":"r36-p3"},{"last_affected":"r36-p3"},{"introduced":"r36-p4"},{"last_affected":"r36-p4"},{"introduced":"r36-p5"},{"last_affected":"r36-p5"},{"introduced":"r36-p6"},{"last_affected":"r36-p6"}],"source":"CPE_STRING","vendor_product":"f5:nginx_plus"}]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K000162100"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/nginx/nginx","events":[{"introduced":"6e14e954aaacce9a433d9b07b4653809c7594ab8"},{"fixed":"017cf98dcce217946572a896f0992370475e189f"},{"introduced":"2fd01ed47a1fd2965754c83f53b33a789d0e07f1"},{"last_affected":"2fd01ed47a1fd2965754c83f53b33a789d0e07f1"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"1.30.0"},{"fixed":"1.30.4"},{"introduced":"1.31.2"},{"last_affected":"1.31.2"}],"source":["CPE_RANGE","CPE_STRING"],"cpe":["cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_open_source:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_open_source:1.31.2:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"]}}],"versions":["1.31.2","release-1.30.3","release-1.31.2","release-1.30.2","release-1.30.1","release-1.30.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-60005.json"}},{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/nginx/nginx-gateway-fabric","events":[{"introduced":"3a372747333fb1db372af7cf0b18ed7eef7c91f7"},{"last_affected":"532db6a20b2912fe397211eef9f8d564d46a4bdd"},{"introduced":"7dad8b31e3f0c3eadce36fed8c276e83e6583d24"},{"fixed":"5e34a17a8f7787e90f41d1af91258a556f0795b4"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:f5:nginx_gateway_fabric:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"1.3.0"},{"last_affected":"1.6.2"},{"introduced":"2.0.0"},{"fixed":"2.6.7"}],"source":"CPE_RANGE"}}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-60005.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H"}]}
