Synopsis

Nginx < 1.9.10 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to the self-reported version in its response header, the version of nginx hosted on the remote web server is less than 1.8.1 or 1.9.x prior to 1.9.10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as noted in the vendor advisory.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to nginx version 1.9.10 or later.
