CVE-2026-115931 Details
Description
Postiz lets a signed-in user ask the backend to run a function on one of their connected channels. The backend did not restrict which functions can be requested, so a user could call internal helper functions that were never meant to be reachable from the web interface. One of those helpers reads a file from the server's disk. A user who connects a channel whose stored token is a file path can have the backend return the contents of any file it can read, including its environment, which holds the secret used to sign login sessions, the database address and the credentials of connected services. Another helper makes the backend process exit with a single request. Self-registration is open by default, so no existing account and no action by another user is needed.
A vulnerability in Postiz, a social media management platform, allows signed-in users to invoke internal helper functions on their connected channels without proper restrictions. This flaw can be exploited to read arbitrary files from the server, including sensitive information such as the environment file containing secrets for signing login sessions and database credentials. Additionally, the vulnerability can be used to crash the backend process. The issue arises from the default open self-registration, enabling exploitation without requiring an existing account or intervention from another user.
Users are advised to update to Postiz version 2.25.2, where this vulnerability has been fixed. Instructions for updating can be found in the Postiz GitHub repository.
