Uptime Kuma 2.5.11 patches admin RCE
Uptime Kuma 2.5.11 addresses an admin-only remote code execution vulnerability (GHSA-437w-j82f-9vjh) introduced by a regression in an upstream dependency. Maintainers urge self-hosters to update immediately before full vulnerability details are disclosed next week.
Upstream package regressions remain a persistent threat to self-hosted infrastructure, making fast patch turnaround critical for exposed services. The 7-day disclosure embargo gives maintainers and operators a narrow window to secure instances before exploit code surfaces publicly.
- –The flaw (GHSA-437w-j82f-9vjh) allows authenticated administrative users to achieve remote code execution via an upstream dependency regression.
- –Technical details are withheld for seven days after release to protect production deployments across the project's 93,000+ GitHub stargazers.
- –Because monitoring dashboards frequently sit on public subdomains for uptime telemetry, unpatched instances face elevated risk once details drop.
- –The release reinforces the necessity of automated dependency scanning and rapid container rebuild pipelines for homelab and production stacks alike.
