Uptime Kuma vulnerable to authenticated remote code execution via malicious plugin installation
Summary
Installation of a maliciously crafted plugin allows for remote code execution by an authenticated attacker.
Details
Uptime Kuma allows authenticated users to install plugins from an official list of plugins. This feature is currently disabled in the web interface, but the corresponding API endpoints are still available after login.
After downloading a plugin, it's installed by calling npm install in the installation directory of the plugin:
https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/blob/8c60e902e1c76ecbbd1b0423b07ce615341cb850/server/plugins-manager.js#L210-L216
Because the plugin is not validated against the official list of plugins or installed with npm install --ignore-scripts, a maliciously crafted plugin taking advantage of npm scripts can gain remote code execution.
PoC
In the PoC below, the plugin at https://github.com/n-thumann/npm-install-script-poc will be installed. It only consists of an empty index.js and a package.json containing the script: "preinstall": "echo \"Malicious code could have been executed as user $(whoami)\" > /tmp/poc". This will be executed when installing the plugin.
- Start Uptime Kuma:
docker run -d -p 3001:3001 -v uptime-kuma:/app/data --name uptime-kuma louislam/uptime-kuma:1 - Create a user using the Uptime Kuma web interface, e.g. user
adminwith passwordadmin123 - Confirm that the PoC file to be created doesn't exist yet:
- Create file
poc.jswith the following content:
- Install
socket.io-client:npm install socket.io-client - Run the script:
node poc.js:
- The PoC file has been created:
Impact
This vulnerability allows authenticated attacker to gain remote code execution on the server Uptime Kuma is running on.

Uptime Kuma, a self-hosted monitoring tool, allows an authenticated attacker to install a maliciously crafted plugin in versions prior to 1.22.1, which may lead to remote code execution. Uptime Kuma allows authenticated users to install plugins from an official list of plugins. This feature is currently disabled in the web interface, but the corresponding API endpoints are still available after login. After downloading a plugin, it's installed by calling `npm install` in the installation directory of the plugin. Because the plugin is not validated against the official list of plugins or installed with `npm install --ignore-scripts`, a maliciously crafted plugin taking advantage of npm scripts can gain remote code execution. Version 1.22.1 contains a patch for this issue.
