CVE-2025-22606 is a high-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Coollabs Coolify. Its CVSS base score is 8.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked at the 20th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2025-22606 is a command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in Coolify, an open-source, self-hostable tool for managing servers, applications, and databases. It affects version 4.0.0-beta.358 and possibly earlier versions. The flaw occurs when creating or updating a "project," where attackers can inject arbitrary shell commands by manipulating the project name with unescaped characters such as single quotes ('), which break out of the intended command structure and enable execution on the host system. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H).
Attackers with local access and low privileges, such as those able to use project management features, can exploit this issue without user interaction. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary command execution on the host server, potentially leading to full system compromise, creation, modification, or deletion of sensitive files, and privilege escalation based on the permissions of the executed process.
The GitHub security advisory (GHSA-ccp8-v65g-m526) confirms that version 4.0.0-beta.359 addresses the issue by fixing the command injection in project name handling. Security practitioners should update to this patched version and review access controls for project management features.

Vulnerability Data
Coolify is an open-source and self-hostable tool for managing servers, applications, and databases. In version 4.0.0-beta.358 and possibly earlier versions, when creating or updating a "project," it is possible to inject arbitrary shell commands by altering the project name. If…
more
a name includes unescaped characters, such as single quotes (`'`), it breaks out of the intended command structure, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the host system. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the host server, which could result in full system compromise; create, modify, or delete sensitive system files; and escalate privileges depending on the permissions of the executed process. Attackers with access to project management features could exploit this flaw to gain unauthorized control over the host environment. Version 4.0.0-beta.359 fixes this issue.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.
Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.
Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
