  • Detect HTTP requests containing the NTFS Alternate Data Stream suffix '::$DATA' or '::$data' appended to any URI path — this is the sole attack vector for CVE-2010-2263 on nginx/Windows.
  • Scope detection to nginx instances running on Windows/NTFS only; Unix deployments are not affected by this vulnerability.
  • Flag nginx versions 0.7.x prior to 0.7.66 and 0.8.x prior to 0.8.40 on Windows as vulnerable; the Metasploit auxiliary module 'scanner/http/nginx_source_disclosure' can be used to confirm exposure.
  • ·Vulnerability is exclusively triggered on Windows (NTFS file system); nginx on Unix/Linux is not affected regardless of version.
  • ·Fixed versions are nginx 0.7.66 and 0.8.40 on Windows; all earlier 0.7.x and 0.8.x Windows builds are vulnerable.
