CVE-2026-85736

HighCVSS 8.1
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Chartbrew prior to 5.2.3 stored attacker-chosen absolute SSL and SSH file paths during connection creation or update and later passed those stored paths to fs.unlink without a path restriction during connection cleanup. A user with createOwn and deleteOwn permissions on their own team can store a target path in a connection and delete the connection to unlink the referenced file, such as /code/.env or application source.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can delete application files, causing integrity loss and service disruption; the default container runs as uid 0, increasing the impact.

Recommendation

Update Chartbrew to version 5.2.3 or later and run the application as a less-privileged user.

Original NVD description (English source)

Chartbrew is an open-source web application that can connect directly to databases and APIs and use the data to create charts. Prior to 5.2.3, connection creation or update stored attacker-chosen absolute SSL and SSH file paths, and later connection cleanup passed those stored paths to fs.unlink without a path restriction. The vulnerable surface is data-connection certificate and SSH-key cleanup when a connection is removed. A user with createOwn and deleteOwn permissions on their own team stores a target path in a connection and then deletes the connection to trigger cleanup; default self-signup grants teamOwner these permissions. The cleanup routine treats the stored SSL or SSH path as a managed certificate path and unlinks the referenced file; duplicateConnection provides a second advisory-identified trigger. The attacker must be able to create or update and then delete a connection on their own team. The default container runs Chartbrew as uid 0, while deployments with a less-privileged process are limited by that process's deletion permissions. The attacker can delete files such as /code/.env or application source, causing integrity loss and service disruption. This issue is fixed in version 5.2.3.
