Summary

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

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of confidential data leakage or unauthorized modification of configuration files by an authenticated low-privileged attacker, potentially leading to privilege escalation or system integrity compromise.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update NGINX Agent to the latest patched version and restrict access to the config_dirs directive to trusted administrators only.
