Medium [CVE-2026-48142] NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_charset_module module
CVE-2026-48142Source published Source updated
NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_charset_module module. When content is served or proxied through a location block with both source_charset utf-8; and a charset directive (for example, charset koi8-r;) configured, remote, unauthenticated attackers can send requests (in conjunction with conditions beyond their control) to cause a heap buffer over-read in the NGINX worker process, leading to limited disclosure of memory or a restart. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Medium [CVE-2026-48142] Memory disclosure or denial of service via ngx_http_charset_module heap buffer over-read
CVE-2026-48142Source published Source updated
NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source have a vulnerability in the ngx_http_charset_module module. When content is served or proxied through a location block with both source_charset utf-8; and a charset directive (for example, charset koi8-r;) configured, remote, unauthenticated attackers can send requests (in conjunction with conditions beyond their control) to cause a heap buffer over-read in the NGINX worker process, leading to limited disclosure of memory or a restart. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated. A flaw was found in NGINX. Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exploit a vulnerability in the `ngx_http_charset_module` when specific charset configurations are present. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 4.8…

- Mitigation guidance
- To mitigate this issue, avoid configuring NGINX with both `source_charset utf-8;` and an additional `charset` directive within the same location block in the `ngx_http_charset_module`. If these directives are not essential for your NGINX deployment, removing one or both will prevent the vulnerability from being exploited. After modifying the NGINX configuration, reload the NGINX service using `systemctl reload nginx`. This action may temporarily interrupt active connections.
