CVE-2026-93479 — NGINX map directive and regex matching vulnerability

Affected: F5 NGINX Plus, F5 NGINX Open Source

A vulnerability exists in NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source when a map directive uses regex matching and the root directive or access log format references the map's regex capture variables before referencing the map output variable. Alternatively, the same result could be achieved by using a non-cacheable variable in a string expression under certain conditions. An unauthenticated attacker along with conditions beyond their control can exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests. This may cause a heap buffer overflow in the NGINX worker process leading to a restart. Additionally, attackers can execute code on systems with Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) disabled or when the attacker can bypass ASLR.

Impact: This vulnerability may allow remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) on the NGINX system or to possibly trigger a code execution. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.

Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Affected: Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: nginx, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: nginx, Ubuntu:26.10: nginx, Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: nginx

It was discovered that nginx incorrectly handled certain configurations using the alias directive together with rewrite rules. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause nginx to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-15176)

It was discovered that nginx incorrectly handled map directives using regex matching under certain circumstances. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause nginx to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-93479)

It was discovered that nginx incorrectly handled HTTP/3 requests when proxy_request_buffering was enabled. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.10. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to inject data into proxied requests. (CVE-2026-95101)

It was discovered that nginx incorrectly handled asynchronous file I/O in certain configurations with Server Side Includes pages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause nginx to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-97205)

It was discovered that nginx incorrectly handled SSL session ticket keys when configured with a shared session cache but without explicit ticket key rotation. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 26.10. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to forge client SSL sessions and bypass client certificate verification.
