Nx · Nx · CVE-2026-104854
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Nx versions prior to 22.7.9
Nx versions 23.0.0 through 23.1.1
**Description**
Nx creates Unix domain sockets for its daemon and isolated plugin workers in shared temporary locations without restricting permissions to the owner. On shared build servers, developer hosts, or multi-user containers, an unprivileged local account can discover and connect to these sockets because the transport lacks authentication and relies solely on filesystem containment. A caller can send a `PROCESS IN BACKGROUND` request containing a module path to invoke its default export, enabling remote code execution as the account running Nx. Additionally, other handlers may expose task hashes, project graphs, and workspace file contents.
**Recommendations**
Update Nx to version 22.7.9.
Update Nx to version 23.1.2.
