CVE-2026-40519 - Nginx Proxy Manager Authenticated RCE via setupCertbotPlugins()

[Starburst-Admin]

CVE ID: CVE-2026-40519
Published: June 8, 2026
Description: Nginx Proxy Manager versions 2.9.14 through 2.15.1, fixed in commit a5db5ed, contain an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability via OS command injection in the setupCertbotPlugins() function in backend/setup.js, allowing attackers with certificates:manage permission to execute arbitrary commands by storing a malicious payload in the dns_provider_credentials field. The user-controlled dns_provider_credentials value is interpolated directly into a shell command executed via child_process.exec() without sanitization or escaping, causing the injected command to execute upon backend restart.
Severity: 7.7 | HIGH
