CVE-2026-39386 Details
Description
Neko is a a self-hosted virtual browser that runs in Docker and uses WebRTC In versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.10 and 3.1.0 through 3.1.1, any authenticated user can immediately obtain full administrative control of the entire Neko instance (member management, room settings, broadcast control, session termination, etc.). This results in a complete compromise of the instance. The vulnerability has been patched in v3.0.11 and v3.1.2. If upgrading is not immediately possible, the following mitigations can reduce risk: Restrict access to trusted users only (avoid granting accounts to untrusted parties); ensure all user passwords are strong and only shared with trusted individuals; run the instance only when needed; avoid leaving it continuously exposed; place the instance behind authentication layers such as a reverse proxy with additional access controls; disable or restrict access to the /api/profile endpoint if feasible; and/or monitor for suspicious privilege changes or unexpected administrative actions. Note that these are temporary mitigations and do not fully eliminate the vulnerability. Upgrading is strongly recommended.
A privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in Neko, a self-hosted virtual browser that operates in Docker and utilizes WebRTC. This vulnerability is present in versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.10 and 3.1.0 through 3.1.1. It allows any authenticated user to gain full administrative control over the entire Neko instance, including member management, room settings, broadcast control, and session termination. As a result, the vulnerability leads to a complete compromise of the Neko instance.
Users are advised to upgrade to Neko version 3.0.11 or 3.1.2. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, access should be restricted to trusted users, the instance should only be run when needed, and the '/api/profile' endpoint access should be disabled or restricted if feasible.
