Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Tugtainer is a self-hosted app for automating updates of docker containers. In versions prior to 1.15.1, arbitary arguments can be injected in tugtainer-agent `POST api/command/run`. Version 1.15.1 fixes the issue.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Tugtainer versions prior to 1.15.1 contain a command injection vulnerability in the tugtainer-agent's POST /api/command/run endpoint. Attackers can inject arbitrary arguments/commands that will be executed on the host system where the agent runs, leading to complete system compromise.

MitigationUpgrade to Tugtainer version 1.15.1 or later. Until then, restrict network access to the tugtainer-agent API and monitor for suspicious API requests.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed Tugtainer version
    Run the command to check the tugtainer-agent version, such as 'tugtainer-agent --version' or inspect the package metadata file if installed via a package manager
    Affected if The version number returned is less than 1.15.1 (for example, 1.15.0, 1.14.x, or earlier)
  2. Verify the tugtainer-agent API is network accessible
    Check the network configuration or firewall rules to determine if the tugtainer-agent service port (typically the API port) is exposed to untrusted networks or the internet
    Affected if The API port is exposed to networks outside the trusted administrative network
  3. Inspect API access logs for the vulnerable endpoint
    Review the tugtainer-agent access logs for POST requests to /api/command/run, focusing on requests containing unusual or suspicious argument patterns
    Affected if Requests to /api/command/run contain unexpected characters, multiple command separators, or shell metacharacters in the arguments
  4. Check for unauthorized command execution
    Review system audit logs, process accounting logs, or the tugtainer-agent execution logs for commands that were spawned by the agent but originated from API requests
    Affected if There are command executions in the logs that do not correspond to legitimate administrative tasks

A user is affected if their installed Tugtainer version is below 1.15.1 AND the tugtainer-agent API is network-accessible to untrusted parties, or if evidence of exploitation is found in logs.

Interim mitigation

Upgrade to Tugtainer version 1.15.1 or later. Until then, restrict network access to the tugtainer-agent API and monitor for suspicious API requests.

Recommended fix High confidence

1.15.1

  1. Backup your tugtainer data and configuration before upgrading
  2. Upgrade tugtainer to version 1.15.1 using your installation method (e.g., docker pull, package manager, or binary)
  3. Restart the tugtainer service after upgrading
  4. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number
  5. Test that the POST api/command/run endpoint properly sanitizes input and no longer allows command injection
