|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2026-41646 | Nuclei is a vulnerability scanner built on a simple YAML-based DSL. From version 3.0.0 to before version 3.8.0, a vulnerability in Nuclei's JavaScript protocol runtime allows JavaScript templates to read local .js and .json files through the require() function, bypassing the default local file access restriction. This issue has been patched in version 3.8.0. | [email protected] | 5.5 | 0.01% | 2026-05-08 | 2026-05-08 |
| CVE-2026-41645 | Nuclei is a vulnerability scanner built on a simple YAML-based DSL. From version 3.0.0 to before version 3.8.0, a vulnerability in Nuclei's expression evaluation engine makes it possible for a malicious target server to inject and execute supported DSL expressions. This happens when HTTP response data containing helper/function syntax gets reused by multi-step templates. If the -env-vars / -ev option is explicitly enabled, this can expose host environment variables. That option is off by default | [email protected] | 5.3 | 0.04% | 2026-05-08 | 2026-05-08 |
| CVE-2026-41282 | ProjectDiscovery Nuclei 3 before 3.8.0 allows DSL expression injection. This affects use of -env-vars for multi-step templates against untrusted targets (not the default configuration). | [email protected] | 4.0 | 0.06% | 2026-04-20 | 2026-04-23 |
| CVE-2024-43405 | Nuclei is a vulnerability scanner powered by YAML based templates. Starting in version 3.0.0 and prior to version 3.3.2, a vulnerability in Nuclei's template signature verification system could allow an attacker to bypass the signature check and possibly execute malicious code via custom code template. The vulnerability is present in the template signature verification process, specifically in the `signer` package. The vulnerability stems from a discrepancy between how the signature verification | [email protected] | 7.4 | 5.61% | 2024-09-04 | 2024-10-01 |
| CVE-2024-27920 | projectdiscovery/nuclei is a fast and customisable vulnerability scanner based on simple YAML based DSL. A significant security oversight was identified in Nuclei v3, involving the execution of unsigned code templates through workflows. This vulnerability specifically affects users utilizing custom workflows, potentially allowing the execution of malicious code on the user's system. This advisory outlines the impacted users, provides details on the security patch, and suggests mitigation strateg | [email protected] | 7.4 | 0.36% | 2024-03-15 | 2025-12-05 |
| CVE-2023-37896 | Nuclei is a vulnerability scanner. Prior to version 2.9.9, a security issue in the Nuclei project affected users utilizing Nuclei as Go code (SDK) running custom templates. This issue did not affect CLI users. The problem was related to sanitization issues with payload loading in sandbox mode. There was a potential risk with payloads loading in sandbox mode. The issue occurred due to relative paths not being converted to absolute paths before doing the check for `sandbox` flag allowing arbitrary | [email protected] | 7.5 | 0.85% | 2023-08-04 | 2024-11-21 |
