openresty 7lua-nginx-module 2
CVE-2026-55233HIGH

OpenResty is a high performance web platform. From 1.29.2.1 to before 1.29.2.5, an out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the upstream PROXY protocol v2 implementation. When OpenResty is configured to send PROXY protocol version 2 headers to upstream servers, constructing the header in the stream proxy protocol v2 patch can write beyond the bounds of the allocated buffer, causing the worker process to crash and resulting in a denial of service. Only configurations that explicitly enable PROXY protocol v2 for upstream connections are impacted. This issue is fixed in version 1.29.2.5.

CVE-2024-39702MEDIUM

In lj_str_hash.c in OpenResty 1.19.3.1 through 1.25.3.1, the string hashing function (used during string interning) allows HashDoS (Hash Denial of Service) attacks. An attacker could cause excessive resource usage during proxy operations via crafted requests, potentially leading to a denial of service with relatively few incoming requests. This vulnerability only exists in the OpenResty fork in the openresty/luajit2 GitHub repository. The LuaJIT/LuaJIT repository. is unaffected.

CVE-2021-23017HIGHpoc

A security issue in nginx resolver was identified, which might allow an attacker who is able to forge UDP packets from the DNS server to cause 1-byte memory overwrite, resulting in worker process crash or potential other impact.

CVSS
CVE-2020-36309MEDIUM

ngx_http_lua_module (aka lua-nginx-module) before 0.10.16 in OpenResty allows unsafe characters in an argument when using the API to mutate a URI, or a request or response header.

CVSS
CVE-2020-11724HIGH

An issue was discovered in OpenResty before 1.15.8.4. ngx_http_lua_subrequest.c allows HTTP request smuggling, as demonstrated by the ngx.location.capture API.

CVE-2018-9230CRITICAL

In OpenResty through 1.13.6.1, URI parameters are obtained using the ngx.req.get_uri_args and ngx.req.get_post_args functions that ignore parameters beyond the hundredth one, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions or interfere with certain Web Application Firewall (ngx_lua_waf or X-WAF) products. NOTE: the vendor has reported that 100 parameters is an intentional default setting, but is adjustable within the API. The vendor's position is that a security-relevant misuse of the API by a WAF product is a vulnerability in the WAF product, not a vulnerability in OpenResty
