A flaw was found in NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source when configured to use the HTTP/3 QUIC module. A remote attacker could exploit this by spoofing their source IP address. This vulnerability allows for the bypass of authorization controls or rate limiting mechanisms, potentially leading to unauthorized access or resource abuse.

CWE-290 - Authentication Bypass by Spoofing
