DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Runtipi is a personal homeserver orchestrator. Starting in version 4.5.0 and prior to version 4.7.2, an unauthenticated Path Traversal vulnerability in the UserConfigController allows any remote user to overwrite the system's docker-compose.yml configuration file. By exploiting insecure URN parsing, an attacker can replace the primary stack configuration with a malicious one, resulting in full Remote Code Execution (RCE) and host filesystem compromise the next time the instance is restarted by the operator. Version 4.7.2 fixes the vulnerability.

AnalysisAI

Runtipi versions 4.5.0 through 4.7.1 contain an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability in the UserConfigController that allows remote attackers to overwrite the docker-compose.yml configuration file through insecure URN parsing. An attacker can inject a malicious stack configuration that executes arbitrary code when the instance restarts, achieving full remote code execution and host compromise. …
