Critical
andrasbacsai published GHSA-3w2c-jfr2-9pg9 Jan 24, 2025

Package

coolify (coollabsio)

Affected versions

< v4.0.0-beta.361

Patched versions

v4.0.0-beta.361

Description

The missing authorization allows any authenticated user to attach any existing private key on a coolify instance to his own server.
If the server configuration of IP / domain, port (most likely 22) and user (root) matches with the victim's server configuration, then the attacker can use the Terminal feature and execute arbitrary commands on the victim's server.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
