Description

Summary

A user who was disabled by an administrator can use previously issued API tokens for up to the token lifetime. In practice, disabling a compromised account does not actually terminate that user’s access, so an attacker who already stole a JWT can continue reading and modifying protected resources after the account is marked disabled.

Since tokens can be used to create new accounts, it is possible the disabled user to maintain the privilege.

Details

The application exposes an account-level disable control through the users management API. Login process correctly enforces that control: https://github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui/blob/6ec542fd97abf2c5950f374f78a32938ad0030e6/internal/user/login.go#L29-L31

However, token-based authentication does not enforce the same check (This code validates token structure and expiry, but returns that user object without checking user.Status.): https://github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui/blob/6ec542fd97abf2c5950f374f78a32938ad0030e6/internal/user/user.go#L44-L139

There’s also no token revocation feature, unlike when a password is changed: https://github.com/0xJacky/nginx-ui/blob/6ec542fd97abf2c5950f374f78a32938ad0030e6/api/user/user.go#L38-L51

As a result, a disabled user can continue to have full API access. In particular, since that includes account creation, they can create a new account and keep operating even after the JWT expires.

PoC

The issue was validated with version 2.3.3 using the uozi/nginx-ui:sha-c92ec0a docker image.

Impact

Administrators who rely on "disable user" as an authentication or authorization control can be bypassed.

The disabled user can keep reading sensitive configuration and executing authenticated state-changing actions allowed to that account.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/0xJacky/Nginx-UI, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/0xJacky/Nginx-UI to 1.9.10-0.20260314152518-7b66578adb47 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-x234-x5vq-cc2v is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
