CVE-2026-42148 | Coolify: Command Injection via Unescaped Version String in Docker Build

Coolify is an open-source and self-hostable tool for managing servers, applications, and databases. Prior to 4.0.0-beta.474, the buildHelperImage method in app/Livewire/Settings/Index.php constructs a Docker build command using the dev_helper_version field without shell escaping, allowing an attacker who can set the helper version and trigger the helper image build in a development environment to execute arbitrary commands on the server. This issue is fixed in version 4.0.0-beta.474.

3.8 3.1 LOW
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:H)
Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
Privileges required (PR:H)
They need powerful rights—admin, root, or similar—before this pays off.
User interaction (UI:R)
A real person has to do something—click, install, enable—otherwise it doesn’t land.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
Availability (A:L)
Might cause slowdowns, glitches, or partial disruption—not a full brick.
