{"id":"CVE-2026-60005","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-60005","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T03:23:00.423Z","title":"NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_slice_module module.","description":"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.","published":"2026-07-15T16:16:50.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-11T15:09:04.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"f5sirt@f5.com","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-908"],"affected":["f5/nginx gateway fabric","f5/nginx ingress controller","f5/nginx instance manager","f5/nginx open source","f5/nginx plus","f5/waf"],"epss":{"score":0.00531,"percentile":0.44644,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.53%).
