CVE-2026-60065
Last modified
CVE-2026-60065 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. When NGINX Plus is configured to use the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) filter module (ngx_stream_mqtt_filter_module), unauthenticated attackers can send requests with conditions beyond the attacker's control to cause a heap buffer over-read in the NGINX worker process, leading to a restart. Impact: This vulnerability may allow remote unauthenticated attackers to have limited control to restart the NGINX worker process. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
