-description: >
-  Detects CVE-2026-33032 (CVSS 9.8): nginx-ui exposes an MCP server endpoint
-  that executes system commands — including nginx reload/restart, config
-  writes, and raw shell commands — without requiring authentication. An
-  unauthenticated network attacker can invoke MCP tool calls directly against
-  the nginx-ui service and gain OS-level command execution on the host.
-  Detection covers (a) tool call patterns invoking nginx management functions
-  without an Authorization header present in the same exchange, (b) MCP config
-  blocks pointing at nginx-ui endpoints with no auth fields, (c) payloads
-  referencing the nginx_command_execute / nginx_reload MCP tool names, and
-  (d) content describing the unauthenticated MCP surface of nginx-ui. CWE-306
-  (Missing Authentication for Critical Function), CWE-78 (OS Command Injection).
