DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Coolify is an open-source and self-hostable tool for managing servers, applications, and databases. In Coolify versions prior to and including v4.0.0-beta.434, low privileged users are able to see the private key of the root user on the Coolify instance. This allows them to ssh to the server and authenticate as root user, using the private key. As of time of publication, it is unclear if a patch is available.

AnalysisAI

Coolify through v4.0.0-beta.434 exposes the root user's SSH private key to low-privileged team members. Any user with basic access can extract the key, SSH to the server as root, and fully compromise the Coolify instance and all managed infrastructure. PoC available.

Technical ContextAI

Insufficient access controls (CWE-522) allow any authenticated team member to read the private key used by Coolify for root SSH access to managed servers. Since Coolify manages deployment infrastructure, this single key often provides root access to all production servers.

RemediationAI

Update Coolify immediately. Rotate the root SSH key. Audit SSH access logs on all managed servers. Implement per-user SSH keys with least-privilege access.
