Some of these flaws have CVSS v4.0 scores up to 9.2, showing a big risk to organizations using NGINX for web and app delivery. One serious flaw, known as CVE-2026-42530, affects the ngx_http_v3_module in NGINX. This issue impacts NGINX Open-Source versions 1.31.0 and 1.31.1 and has been fixed in version 1.31.2.
Successful exploitation might cause memory issues, which could allow remote code to run or disrupt services. Another serious problem, CVE-2026-42055, affects the ngx_http_proxy_v2_module and ngx_http_grpc_module.
This flaw impacts both NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus setups. Security experts say that attackers might use this weakness to cause DoS issues or run harmful code in certain situations.
F5 Patches NGINX Vulnerability
The flaw has been fixed in NGINX Open Source versions 1.30.3 and 1.31.2, and in NGINX Plus release 37.0.2.1 and R36 P6.
F5 revealed more issues in NGINX Gateway Fabric, including CVE-2026-11311 and CVE-2026-50107, which are both serious. These problems affect versions 2.3.0 to 2.6.3 and are fixed in version 2.6.4.
Exploitation of these issues could result in service instability or unauthorized behavior within Kubernetes-based environments where Gateway Fabric is deployed.
In addition to high-severity flaws, the advisory includes medium-severity vulnerabilities such as CVE-2026-48142, which affects the ngx_http_charset_module.
This issue may not be very important, but it can still affect how the application works or lower service reliability if not fixed.
Several F5 and NGINX products, like NGINX Instance Manager, NGINX App Protect, and F5 WAF for NGINX, are affected but do not have direct fixes yet.
F5 suggests using fixes and checking settings until updates are available for these parts.
F5 Advisory K000161614 says that systems open to the internet are very risky and need to be updated right away with the latest fixes.
