F5 released out-of-band security updates for NGINX after finding multiple web server vulnerabilities, including two critical flaws that could enable remote code execution or denial of service on affected systems. The fixes cover NGINX Plus, NGINX Open Source, NGINX Gateway Fabric, and NGINX Instance Manager. Administrators unable to patch immediately have product-specific mitigations, but the release remains urgent because the flaws affect vulnerable non-default configurations.

    F5 releases out-of-band patches for critical NGINX vulnerabilities

    Mitigation Patch Update

    F5 released out-of-band security updates for NGINX to address CVE-2026-42530 and CVE-2026-42055, two critical flaws in ngx_http_v3_module and ngx_http_proxy_v2_module/ngx_http_grpc_module that unauthenticated remote attackers could abuse on non-default configurations for denial of service or code execution. F5 also fixed CVE-2026-11311 and CVE-2026-50107 in NGINX Gateway Fabric, which allow authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary NGINX configuration directives, and provided temporary mitigations such as disabling HTTP/3 or adjusting header-related directives for environments that cannot patch immediately.
