[adison]

hello.
i wonna know when i entered in the version of nginx command why it showed version1.18.0?
that was released in2020, and i'm sure it has quite a few vulnerabilities.
thanks.

Where? In an app, on the server?

I assume on the server. nginx 1.18 is the latest on Ubuntu 22 LTS (so it gets security updates).

huh weird, last time i checked it was 1.25

Probably upstream but not in Ubuntu packages
