Vulnerability in github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane/backend (CVE-2026-47125)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane/backend (CVE-2026-47125). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via PUT /api/environments/{id}/templates/variables. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.19.2 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Arcane is an interface for managing Docker containers, images, networks, and volumes. Prior to 1.19.2, the PUT /api/environments/{id}/templates/variables endpoint, which writes the system-wide .env.global file used for variable substitution in every project's compose file, is missing an admin authorization check. Any authenticated non-admin user can call this endpoint with their bearer token or API key and overwrite the global environment variables that are merged into every project deployment. By overriding values like REGISTRY, IMAGE, DATABASE_URL, or SECRET_KEY that other users reference via ${VAR} in compose files, an attacker can redirect image pulls to attacker-controlled registries (supply-chain RCE on the Docker host), exfiltrate database credentials, or disrupt all projects. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.19.2.

-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane/backend' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane/backendを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'PUT /api/environments/{id}/templates/variables' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで
PUT /api/environments/{id}/templates/variablesへの異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。 -
3Apply patch patch
Upgrade github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane/backend to 1.19.2ステージング環境で 1.19.2 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。
