| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated Daytona user account (CVSS PR:L) with permission to create or reference sandbox volumes. The attack targets the runner's bind-mount path construction by supplying a volume reference containing path-traversal sequences. On all released versions (<= 0.185.0), exploitation is prevented by a structural constraint: the volumeId database column is a UUID type, which rejects any string containing traversal characters at database validation time, before the runner is ever invoked. This means the vulnerability is only theoretically reachable in a hypothetical implementation where that UUID validation is absent or bypassed - a condition the vendor states did not exist in any released build. What limits exploitation: (1) mandatory authentication eliminates unauthenticated attack surface; (2) UUID database column type structurally blocks traversal payloads on all released versions; (3) no released build allowed a traversal sequence to reach the runner layer. The vulnerability is not exploitable under default or non-default configuration of any released Daytona version. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.2 (Medium) encodes network attack vector (AV:N), high complexity (AC:H), low-privilege authentication (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), and limited confidentiality and integrity impact (C:L/I:L). AC:H accurately reflects the practical reality: exploitation would require bypassing the UUID database validation, which the vendor states was not achievable in testing on any released build. EPSS data is absent from available intelligence, so probability-of-exploitation quantification is unavailable. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV and no public proof-of-concept has been identified, both consistent with a theoretical flaw in unreachable code. The theoretical worst-case - cross-tenant volume data access in a multi-tenant hosted environment - is a meaningful impact class, but the vendor's explicit statement that no released version was exploitable, corroborated by the structural UUID constraint, substantially reduces real-world priority. This is a defense-in-depth gap that warrants patching on schedule, not emergency response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated Daytona user submits a sandbox volume mount request with a volumeId or volume name containing path-traversal sequences (e.g., a name like '../../sensitive-tenant-volume') targeting the runner's bind-mount path construction. On all released versions <= 0.185.0, the database validation layer rejects the non-UUID reference before it reaches the runner, returning a server-side validation error and constructing no mount - the attack terminates at input validation. No public proof-of-concept exploit has been identified, and the vendor could not reproduce cross-tenant access or an out-of-base mount on any released build. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 18, 2026
Path traversal in Daytona's sandbox volume mount handling (versions <= 0.185.0) allowed a crafted volume reference containing traversal sequences to theoretically resolve the runner's bind-mount source path outside the intended per-volume base directory, with a worst-case impact of cross-tenant read/write access to other tenants' FUSE-mounted volume data. Critically, the vendor confirmed the vulnerability was NOT exploitable in any released version: volume references pass through UUID-type database validation before reaching the runner, structurally rejecting traversal payloads and producing a server-side validation error instead of an unintended mount. No public exploit has been identified and the CVE carries no CISA KEV listing, consistent with a latent code-path defect rather than an active attack surface.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Daytona to v0.186.0 or later, which is the vendor-confirmed patched release per GHSA-fjv8-j4p5-cr9m (https://github.com/daytonaio/daytona/security/advisories/GHSA-fjv8-j4p5-cr9m). Version 0.186.0 resolves volume references to canonical UUIDs on the server side before forwarding to the runner and adds runner-side confinement enforcing that mount sources stay within the volume base directory. No configuration-level workaround is required for existing released versions because the database UUID type constraint already prevents the traversal path from being reached; however, upgrading eliminates the latent code path entirely and removes dependence on that implicit upstream control. Operators running self-hosted deployments should prioritize upgrade in their next maintenance window.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Daytona (pkg:go/github.com/daytonaio/daytona) is a cloud development environment platform written in Go. The runner component is responsible for constructing host bind-mount paths for sandbox volumes. In versions <= 0.185.0, the volume reference - either a UUID or a human-readable volume name - was forwarded from the API layer to the runner and used directly to build the host-side bind-mount source path without independent path confinement in the runner. CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) is the root cause: the runner lacked its own enforcement that the resolved path remained within the designated volume base directory, relying implicitly on upstream structural guarantees. The de-facto protection came from the database layer's UUID column type, which rejects any non-UUID string (including traversal sequences) at validation time, so no traversal payload could propagate to the runner on released builds. The v0.186.0 fix adds explicit defense-in-depth: volume names are resolved to canonical UUIDs server-side before reaching the runner, and the runner now independently confines mount sources to the volume base directory and rejects non-UUID references.

DescriptionCVE.org
Summary
A sandbox volume reference (volumeId, which may also be a volume name) was forwarded to the runner and used to build the host bind-mount source path without confinement. A reference containing path-traversal sequences could in principle resolve the mount source outside the intended per-volume base directory.
Impact
Had the traversal been reachable, an authenticated user could have caused the runner to bind-mount an unintended host path into their sandbox, with a worst-case impact of read and write access to other tenants' volume data (per-volume FUSE mounts are world-readable and writable).
Important: this path was not exploitable in any released version. A volume reference is validated against the database before it reaches the runner, and the volume id column is a UUID type, so a reference containing traversal sequences is rejected at validation time and the request fails before any mount is constructed. We could not reproduce cross-tenant access or an out-of-base host mount on a released build; the observable effect of the documented payload was a server-side validation error. Severity is assessed as Medium on that basis.
Patches
Fixed in v0.186.0. Volume references are now resolved to the canonical volume UUID server-side before reaching the runner, so a name can never flow downstream as a path component, and the runner confines the mount source to the volume base directory and rejects any non-UUID reference.
Workarounds
Upgrade to v0.186.0 or later. No configuration workaround is required for released versions, which were not exploitable.
