CVE-2026-24129 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.0) affecting runtipi. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Runtipi is a Docker-based, personal homeserver orchestrator that facilitates multiple services on a single server. Versions 3.7.0 and above allow an authenticated user to execute arbitrary system commands on the host server by injecting shell metacharacters into backup filenames. The BackupManager fails to sanitize the filenames of uploaded backups. The system persists user-uploaded files directly to the host filesystem using the raw originalname

runtipi runtipi UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.7.0 and < 4.7.0

Fixed in: 4.7.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.7.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy runtipi || rpm -q runtipi || runtipi --version

2. UPGRADE to 4.7.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade runtipi

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade runtipi

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.7.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison runtipi sudo apt install runtipi=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.7.0> sudo apt-mark hold runtipi

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list runtipi sudo dnf downgrade runtipi-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.7.0> sudo dnf versionlock add runtipi

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
