MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with any non-admin role on the target Coolify instance - specifically, an account that would not normally pass the isInstanceAdmin check. The vulnerability is in the Settings/Updates Livewire component and is only reachable when an instance has at least one non-admin user account provisioned. Exploitation is limited to users who can authenticate to the Coolify web interface; the CVSS PR:L confirms low-privilege authentication is required. Single-admin instances with no non-admin accounts are not exposed. There is no unauthenticated path and no special network-level precondition beyond reachability to the Coolify dashboard. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) scores 6.5 and accurately reflects the threat model: network-reachable, low complexity, but gated behind a valid (low-privilege) user account, with no confidentiality or availability impact. The integrity impact is rated High because a non-admin user can alter instance-level update configuration - potentially suppressing critical security updates or forcing an unscheduled update on a production system. EPSS data is not present in the provided intelligence; given the absence of KEV listing and no POC code, opportunistic mass exploitation is unlikely. The primary real-world risk is insider threat or a compromised low-privilege account in a shared Coolify deployment. This is a genuine priority for multi-user instances but not an emergency for single-admin self-hosters where no non-admin accounts exist. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a valid non-admin account on a shared Coolify instance (e.g., a developer given access to deploy applications) directly navigates to the Settings/Updates page. Because no isInstanceAdmin check is enforced in the Livewire component mount, the page renders normally and the attacker can disable automatic security updates or trigger an immediate update cycle, potentially destabilizing a production environment. No exploit tooling is required beyond a standard web browser session. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 06, 2026
Missing authorization in Coolify's Settings/Updates Livewire component allows any authenticated non-admin user to access the Updates settings page and modify auto-update behavior or trigger update checks. Affected versions span all releases prior to 4.0.0-beta.471 of the self-hosted server management platform. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, but the network-accessible nature and low authentication bar (any valid account) make this a meaningful integrity risk in multi-tenant or shared Coolify deployments.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Coolify 4.0.0-beta.471 or later, which introduces the missing isInstanceAdmin check in the Settings/Updates Livewire component's mount method. The upstream fix is confirmed by commit 0fed553207383f384b93cba24d28122065fa67d5 and pull request https://github.com/coollabsio/coolify/pull/9206. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, a practical compensating control is to audit and remove any non-admin user accounts from the Coolify instance, since the vulnerability requires a valid low-privilege session. Restricting network access to the Coolify dashboard (e.g., behind a VPN or IP allowlist) reduces exposure to the network attack vector but does not eliminate the flaw for users already inside that boundary. Full remediation requires the vendor patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Coolify is a PHP/Laravel application built on Livewire, a framework that renders reactive server-side UI components. In Livewire, the mount() method initializes a component when it is first rendered - it is the correct location to enforce access control before any component state is exposed to the client. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) applies here: the Settings/Updates component omits a call to isInstanceAdmin during mount, so the framework renders the component and exposes its actions to any authenticated session regardless of role. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:coollabsio:coolify:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all versions before 4.0.0-beta.471. The flaw is confined to the update-management surface - it does not expose a general authorization bypass across the application.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Coolify is an open-source and self-hostable tool for managing servers, applications, and databases. Prior to 4.0.0-beta.471, the Settings/Updates Livewire component does not check isInstanceAdmin in its mount method, allowing non-admin users to access the Updates settings page and potentially modify auto-update settings or trigger update checks. This issue is fixed in version 4.0.0-beta.471.
