Summary

A vulnerability in Hoppscotch before version 2026.6.0 allows an admin to execute arbitrary commands as root in the backend container. The attack involves manipulating the MAILER_SMTP_URL parameter in the updateInfraConfigs GraphQL mutation, which is then parsed by nodemailer into sendmail transport options.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization includes full compromise of the backend container by an admin, potentially leading to data theft, configuration changes, or further attacks on the infrastructure.

Recommendation

Immediately update Hoppscotch to version 2026.6.0 or later. Restrict access to the updateInfraConfigs mutation to trusted administrators only.

Original NVD description (English source)

Hoppscotch is an open source API development ecosystem. Prior to 2026.6.0, the updateInfraConfigs GraphQL mutation in admin/infra.resolver.ts accepts an attacker-controlled MAILER_SMTP_URL value, and validateSMTPUrl in utils.ts permits path, query, or fragment content that nodemailer parses into sendmail transport options, allowing an admin to execute arbitrary commands as root in the backend container after restart and mail sending. This issue is fixed in version 2026.6.0.
