Description
Summary
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.
Impact
When a sandbox owner changed a preview from public to private, the preview proxy could continue serving unauthenticated requests to that sandbox's ordinary preview ports for a bounded period before the change took effect. Only sandboxes that had been made public and were later set back to private were affected, and only until the proxy's cached visibility state was refreshed. Terminal, toolbox, and recording-dashboard ports were never affected, as those always require authentication. The issue did not involve cross-tenant access, privilege escalation, or remote code execution.
Patches
Fixed in v0.184.0. Sandbox visibility changes now invalidate the proxy's cached preview state immediately, so revoking a public preview takes effect on the next request.
Workarounds
Upgrade to v0.184.0 or later. There is no configuration workaround for earlier versions.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/daytonaio/daytona, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/daytonaio/daytona to 0.184.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-54321 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Close the privilege gap rather than the entry point: audit which accounts, roles and service identities can reach the affected operation, drop the component to the least privilege it actually needs, and review file and directory permissions created by earlier installs — a default left in place is what makes this reachable.
