What is CVE-2024-49368?

Nginx UI, a web user interface designed for managing the Nginx web server, contains a significant vulnerability prior to version 2.0.0-beta.36. This vulnerability arises when configuring logrotate, as it fails to validate the input and directly executes it using exec.Command. This oversight allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the system where Nginx UI is running, potentially compromising security and leading to unauthorized actions. Users of Nginx UI are urged to upgrade to version 2.0.0-beta.36 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.
