Description
Coolify is an open-source and self-hostable tool for managing servers, applications, and databases. Prior to 4.0.0-beta.474, Sanctum API tokens did not expire, allowing a leaked token to retain access indefinitely until manually revoked. This issue is fixed in version 4.0.0-beta.474.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is that Coolify’s Sanctum API tokens do not have an expiration time. Consequently, a token that is leaked, exposed or otherwise compromised remains valid for an indefinite period until it is revoked manually. This allows an attacker who obtains any valid token to maintain continuous unauthorised access to the affected authorised operations. The weakness is identified as CWE‑613, a failure to enforce correct authorization or token expiry.

Affected Systems

Deployments of Coolify from Coollabs.io that are running any version earlier than 4.0.0. in, so any installation that has not applied the update bears the risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 3.1 places the vulnerability in the low‑severity range, but because the token never expires, the impact of a successful compromise is permanent. The EPSS score of <1% indicates a very low yet non‑zero probability that an attacker will exploit this weakness. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalogue, suggesting no known widespread exploitation. The likely attack vector involves the accidental leakage or insecure handling of the token, after which an attacker can use it without further authentication steps.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Coolify to version 4.0.0‑beta.474 or later, which introduces token expiration.
  • If immediate upgrade is not possible, set a short lifespan for newly issued tokens where the application allows configuration.
  • Implement monitoring of API token usage and trigger alerts for abnormal activity, revoking suspicious tokens promptly.
