Path Traversal in github.com/0xJacky/Nginx-UI (CVE-2026-84320)
Summary
Path traversal in github.com/0xJacky/Nginx-UI (CVE-2026-84320). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via backup_path. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.9.10-0.20260715121709-f92218e01054 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
Nginx UI validates backup_path and storage_path against the administrator-defined backup.GrantedAccessPath boundary, but the final auto-backup output filename is built from the user-controlled auto-backup name without stripping path separators or .. components.
An authenticated user who can create or modify an auto-backup task can set a name such as task/../../../escaped. The configured storage_path still passes validation because it is inside GrantedAccessPath, but the generated backup path escapes that storage directory when filepath.Join(storage_path, filename) resolves the embedded traversal sequence.
This bypasses the documented backup path boundary and allows backup archives, and for encrypted configuration backups the adjacent .key file, to be written outside the intended storage directory with the Nginx UI process privileges.

Security Boundary
The project documentation describes backup.GrantedAccessPath as the critical security boundary for backup operations. It says the setting:
- restricts backup operations to explicitly authorized directories,
- prevents unauthorized access to sensitive system directories,
- enforces administrator-defined boundaries,
- normalizes paths to preven…
