CVE-2026-54321
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 · uneditedDaytona is a secure and elastic infrastructure runtime for AI-generated code execution and agent workflows. From 0.101.0 until 0.184.0, sandbox previews that were switched from public to private could remain reachable without authentication for a short period after the change, due to a cached visibility state that was not invalidated when the sandbox's visibility changed. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.184.0.
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 confidenceA race condition in Daytona's sandbox preview system allows cached visibility state to persist after changing from public to private, enabling unauthenticated access during the cache invalidation window. The cached visibility state is not properly invalidated when sandbox visibility is modified.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if sandbox preview feature is enabledInspect Daytona's configuration files or runtime settings for the sandbox preview module. Look for configuration keys related to 'sandbox', 'preview', or 'visibility' in config files (typically in /etc/daytona/ or the application's config directory).Affected if The sandbox preview feature is enabled and running on Daytona versions prior to 0.184.0
-
Determine installed Daytona versionRun 'daytona version' or 'daytona --version' to retrieve the installed version. Alternatively, check package manager output: 'dpkg -l daytona' or 'rpm -qi daytona' depending on the system.Affected if The installed version is below 0.184.0 (the fixed version)
-
Verify visibility cache behaviorCreate a test sandbox, set it to public, note the cached state, then change to private and immediately attempt unauthenticated access during the cache window. Inspect cache configuration in daytona.conf for 'cache_ttl', 'visibility_cache', or similar settings.Affected if Cached visibility state persists after modification and unauthenticated access is granted during the cache window
-
Check for cached visibility artifactsExamine cache directories (commonly /var/cache/daytona/ or similar) for visibility state files. Use 'find' to locate files containing 'visibility' or 'public/private' status in the cache layer.Affected if Stale visibility cache entries exist that do not reflect recent visibility changes
The environment is affected if Daytona sandbox preview is enabled, the installed version is below 0.184.0, and cached visibility state fails to invalidate upon visibility changes.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Daytona to version 0.184.0 or later where visibility cache invalidation is properly implemented.
0.184.0
- Identify the currently installed Daytona version using `daytona version` or checking your deployment manifests
- Upgrade to version 0.184.0 or later using your package manager or deployment method (e.g., `daytona upgrade` or redeploy with the new version)
- Verify the upgrade was successful by running `daytona version` to confirm the installed version
- Test that sandbox visibility changes (public to private) take effect immediately without caching delays
