Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Nginx UI (Go module github.com/0xJacky/Nginx-UI) versions before 1.9.10-0.20260703131214-23d1934099b0 are affected. The nginx config directive denylist can be bypassed by placing a blocked directive after a semicolon on the same line as a benign one. An authenticated user can use this to inject directives such as user root or js_* and, where the njs module is present (as in the official Docker image), execute code in the nginx worker. Upgrade to 1.9.10-0.20260703131214-23d1934099b0 or later.
