Description
Hello!
I have NGINX + Apache web server and try to restrict access to CGI scripts by HTTP Basic autentication at NGINX side. At the same time I want to check that script file exists before proxies request to Apache.
My NGINX site config is:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /ххх/ххххх/www/htdocs;
access_log /ххх/ххххх/log/nginx_access.log;
error_log /xxx/ххххх/log/nginx_error.log error;
index index.html index.htm;
server_name ххххххххххххххххх;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
# Deny access to any files or folders which name started with '.'
location ~ /\. {
deny all;
}
# Static content
location ~* ^.+\.(html?|jpe?g|gif|png|ico|css|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|wav|bmp|rtf|js)$ {
try_files $uri =404;
expires 24h;
}
# CGI scripts
# general CGI processing
location ~* /.+\.(cgi|pl)$ {
root /xxx/ххххх/www;
expires -48h;
include proxy_params;
# authorized staff area
location ~ ^/cgi-bin/ {
auth_basic "Staff Area";
auth_basic_user_file /xxx/ххххх/www/.htpasswdCal;
include snippets/cgi-ххххх;
# authorized manager area
location ~ ^/cgi-bin/man/ {
auth_basic "Managers Area";
auth_basic_user_file /xxx/ххххх/www/.htpasswdCalMan;
include snippets/cgi-ххххх;
}
}
return 415;
}
# deny access to all file types non-specified explicitly above
location ~ \.[^/]*$ {
deny all;
}
}
/etc/nginx/snippets/cgi-ххххх is
#### CGI processing (action part)
try_files $uri =416;
if ( !-x $request_filename ) {
return 417;
}
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081;
Problem
Everything is fine when I access URLs existed - I'm asked login/password corresponding to area I try to access. But when I specify script with non-existant URI in restricted area I get custom error 417 rather than login window. Clearly server actions order is incorrect - I expected autorization first and check files second.
So unauthorized person gets info about the files in restricted area - luckily about the absence of a file but not about existance. I'm not sure about the severity of this bug but I want you to be sure that there are no really serious problems around it.
Best Regards,
Konstantin
The rewrite module directives, including
if, are executed while selecting a configuration to work with, and this is expected to happen before authorization. There is no bug here. If you want to do checks after authorization, usetry_filesinstead.
