  1. Investigating

    Akamai is aware of the recently published F5/NGINX vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-15176, CVE-2026-97205, and CVE-2026-93479), and our teams are investigating their potential impact across our platform and infrastructure.F5 has released out-of-band security patches addressing three critical severity vulnerabilities in NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus. These vulnerabilities may allow unauthenticated attackers to trigger heap buffer overflows, which could cause a denial of service or potential remote code execution if ASLR is bypassed.If you are running a vulnerable version of NGINX Open Source or NGINX Plus, we recommend following guidance from F5/NGINX and applying available patches.We will post more details for customers and partners with a valid Control Center login at https://community.akamai.com/customers/s/group/0F90f000000DFgx/service-incident-notifications as additional information becomes available.
