Summary

CVE-2025-64424 is a critical-severity Command Injection (CWE-77) vulnerability in Coollabs Coolify. Its CVSS base score is 9.4 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 21% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; 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.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-64424 is a command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) in Coolify, an open-source and self-hostable tool for managing servers, applications, and databases. The flaw exists in the git source input fields of a resource and affects versions up to and including v4.0.0-beta.434. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to network accessibility, low attack complexity, and significant impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

A low-privileged user with member access can exploit the vulnerability remotely without user interaction. By injecting malicious commands into the git source input fields, the attacker can execute arbitrary system commands as the root user on the Coolify instance, enabling full system compromise.

The primary references include the GitHub security advisory GHSA-qx24-jhwj-8w6x and a proof-of-concept at a Google Drive link. As of the CVE publication on January 5, 2026, it is unclear if a patch is available.

Security testing in development catches command-injection vulnerabilities before release.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and command construction practices that directly prevent command injection.

prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection flaws including command injection.

prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce the attack surface but do not prescribe the specific neutralization techniques needed.

none

Environment separation limits the blast radius of an exploited command injection but does not prevent the flaw itself.
