CVE-2026-60065 is a low-severity flaw (CVSS 3.7) affecting nginx gateway fabric, nginx ingress controller, nginx plus. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

When NGINX Plus is configured to use the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) filter module (ngx_stream_mqtt_filter_module), unauthenticated attackers can send requests with conditions beyond the attacker's control to cause a heap buffer over-read in the NGINX worker process, leading to a restart. Impact: This vulnerability may allow remote unauthenticated attackers to have limited control to restart the NGINX worker process. There is no c

f5 nginx gateway fabric UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.3.0 and <= 1.6.2 · >= 2.0.0 and < 2.6.7

Fixed in: 2.6.7

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.3.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy nginx-gateway-fabric || rpm -q nginx-gateway-fabric || nginx-gateway-fabric --version

2. UPGRADE to 2.6.7 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade nginx-gateway-fabric

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade nginx-gateway-fabric

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.3.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison nginx-gateway-fabric sudo apt install nginx-gateway-fabric=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.3.0> sudo apt-mark hold nginx-gateway-fabric

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list nginx-gateway-fabric sudo dnf downgrade nginx-gateway-fabric-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.3.0> sudo dnf versionlock add nginx-gateway-fabric

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
