⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of the Coolify instance with remote code execution, allowing attackers to control all managed servers, applications, and databases.
Likely Case
Privilege escalation leading to unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data, potentially enabling lateral movement to connected infrastructure.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if strong network segmentation and access controls prevent lateral movement from the compromised Coolify instance.
🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH
🎯 Exploit Status
Public PoC:
✅ No
Weaponized:
LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit:
✅ No
Complexity:
LOW
Exploitation requires authenticated access but is straightforward once authenticated. The advisory provides technical details that could facilitate exploitation.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 4.0.0-beta.361
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify/security/advisories/GHSA-9w72-9qww-qj6g
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup your Coolify configuration and data. 2. Update Coolify to version 4.0.0-beta.361 or later using your deployment method (Docker, manual, etc.). 3. Restart the Coolify service. 4. Verify the update was successful.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Disable user authentication
allTemporarily disable all user authentication to prevent exploitation, though this leaves the system completely open.
Network isolation
allRestrict network access to Coolify to only trusted IP addresses while preparing for patching.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to isolate Coolify from production systems
- Monitor all user activity and privilege changes in Coolify logs for suspicious behavior
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check your Coolify version. If it's earlier than 4.0.0-beta.361, you are vulnerable.Check Version:
Check the Coolify web interface dashboard or run: docker inspect coolify | grep VERSIONVerify Fix Applied:
After updating, verify the version is 4.0.0-beta.361 or later and test that authenticated users cannot escalate privileges or remove team members.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unexpected privilege escalation events
- Team member removal events
- Unauthorized access to Terminal feature
Network Indicators:
- Unusual outbound connections from Coolify instance to managed servers
SIEM Query:
source="coolify" AND (event="privilege_escalation" OR event="member_removed" OR event="terminal_access")
