Limited command execution via Host header template injection
Published Feb 10, 2025 · Updated Dec 17, 2025
Server-side template injection in @perfood/couch-auth 0.21.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to run limited server commands. The email-change confirmation flow inserts the unvalidated HTTP Host header into a Nunjucks-rendered confirmation link, allowing template syntax to be evaluated. CISA assesses no privileges or user interaction, while exploitation also requires the deployment to generate email-change confirmations from request-derived host data and can disclose server-side information.
