The NGINX Agent configdirs directive allows a low-privileged attacker to gain limited read and write access to files outside of the designated secure directory. The configdirs directive required for this issue can also be configured through NGINX Instance Manager. A successful exploit may allow an attacker to cross a security boundary.

Impact: A remotely authenticated low-privileged attacker could gain limited read and write access outside of the list of directories specified in the NGINX Agent configuration.

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

NGINX Agent's "configdirs" restriction feature allows a highly privileged attacker to gain the ability to write/overwrite files outside of the designated secure directory.

Insertion of Sensitive Information into log file vulnerability in NGINX Agent. NGINX Agent version 2.0 before 2.23.3 inserts sensitive information into a log file. An authenticated attacker with local access to read agent log files may gain access to private keys. This issue is only exposed when the non-default trace level logging is enabled. Note: NGINX Agent is included with NGINX Instance Manager and used in conjunction with NGINX API Connectivity Manager, and NGINX Management Suite Security Monitoring.
