Authenticated command execution via repository URL injection
Published Jan 5, 2026 · Updated Jan 5, 2026
OS command injection in the Git Repository field in coolLabs Coolify before 4.0.0-beta.420.7 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands. The project-creation deployment flow passes an unsanitized repository URL into a shell command, so metacharacters append attacker-chosen commands during the Git step. A regular member account and a deployment are required; successful commands run as root on the underlying Linux server, outside the Coolify container.
