Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
Coolify is an open-source and self-hostable tool for managing servers, applications, and databases. Prior to version 4.0.0-beta.451, an authenticated command injection vulnerability in PostgreSQL Init Script Filename handling allows users with application/service management permissions to execute arbitrary commands as root on managed servers. PostgreSQL initialization script filenames are passed to shell commands without proper validation, enabling full remote code execution. Version 4.0.0-beta.451 fixes the issue.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an authenticated command injection in Coolify versions prior to 4.0.0-beta.451. It occurs in the handling of PostgreSQL initialization script filenames, which are passed to shell commands without proper validation. This flaw allows users with application or service management permissions to execute arbitrary commands as the root user on managed servers, leading to full remote code execution.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability allows an attacker with certain permissions to execute arbitrary commands as root on managed servers. This can lead to complete compromise of the affected servers, including unauthorized access, data theft, data manipulation, service disruption, and potentially further attacks within the network.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Coolify to version 4.0.0-beta.451 or later, as this version fixes the authenticated command injection vulnerability in PostgreSQL Init Script Filename handling.
