Root command execution via unchecked Compose mounts
Published Jan 5, 2026 · Updated Jan 5, 2026
OS command injection in Coolify before 4.0.0-beta.420.7 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands as root via Docker Compose. The deployment workflow accepts member-supplied Compose services and launches them without blocking host bind mounts, allowing a malicious service to mount and alter host files. Member-level project deployment access is sufficient to bypass container isolation and compromise the Linux host.
