HIGH 7.6UPGRADE

CVE-2026-25116 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.6) affecting runtipi. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Runtipi is a personal homeserver orchestrator. Starting in version 4.5.0 and prior to version 4.7.2, an unauthenticated Path Traversal vulnerability in the `UserConfigController` allows any remote user to overwrite the system's `docker-compose.yml` configuration file. By exploiting insecure URN parsing, an attacker can replace the primary stack configuration with a malicious one, resulting in full Remote Code Execution (RCE) and host filesystem c

runtipi runtipi UPGRADE

Affected: >= 4.5.0 and < 4.7.2

Fixed in: 4.7.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 4.5.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 4.7.2 (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 4.5.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison runtipi sudo apt install runtipi=<VERSION_BEFORE_4.5.0> 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_4.5.0> 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.
