CVE-2025-53632 WRITEUP CRITICAL WRITEUP
ctfer-io chall-manager < 0.1.4 - Unauthenticated Path Traversal via Zip Slip
Chall-Manager is a platform-agnostic system able to start Challenges on Demand of a player. When decoding a scenario (i.e. a zip archive), the path of the file to write is not checked, potentially leading to zip slips. Exploitation does not require authentication nor authorization, so anyone can exploit it. It should nonetheless not be exploitable as it is highly recommended to bury Chall-Manager deep within the infrastructure due to its large capabilities, so no users could reach the system. Patch has been implemented by commit 47d188f and shipped in v0.1.4.

CVE-2026-32768 WRITEUP CRITICAL WRITEUP
Chall-Manager's invalid NetworkPolicy enables a malicious actor to pivot into another namespace
Chall-Manager is a platform-agnostic system able to start Challenges on Demand of a player. In versions prior to 0.6.5, due to a miswritten NetworkPolicy, a malicious actor can pivot from an instance to any Pod out of the origin namespace. This breaks the security-by-default property expected as part of the deployment program, leading to a potential lateral movement. In the specific case of sdk/kubernetes.Kompose it does not isolate the instances. This issue has been fixed in version 0.6.5.

CVE-2026-32769 WRITEUP CRITICAL WRITEUP
Fullchain's Invalid NetworkPolicy enables a malicious actor to pivot into another namespace
Fullchain is an umbrella project for deploying a ready-to-use CTF platform. In versions prior to 0.1.1, due to a mis-written NetworkPolicy, a malicious actor can pivot from a subverted application to any Pod out of the origin namespace. The flawed inter-ns NetworkPolicy breaks the security-by-default property expected as part of the deployment program, leading to a potential lateral movement. This issue has been fixed in version 0.1.1. To workaround, delete the failing network policy that should be prefixed by inter-ns- in the target namespace.

CVE-2026-32771 WRITEUP CRITICAL WRITEUP
Monitoring is vulnerable to Archive Slip due to missing checks in sanitization
The CTFer.io Monitoring component is in charge of the collection, process and storage of various signals (i.e. logs, metrics and distributed traces). In versions prior to 0.2.2, the sanitizeArchivePath function in pkg/extract/extract.go (lines 248–254) is vulnerable to Path Traversal due to a missing trailing path separator in the strings.HasPrefix check. The extractor allows arbitrary file writes (e.g., overwriting shell configs, SSH keys, kubeconfig, or crontabs), enabling RCE and persistent backdoors. The attack surface is further amplified by the default ReadWriteMany PVC access mode, which lets any pod in the cluster inject a malicious payload. This issue has been fixed in version 0.2.2.

CVE-2026-32737 WRITEUP CRITICAL WRITEUP
Romeo's invalid NetworkPolicy enables a malicious actor to pivot into another namespace
Romeo gives the capability to reach high code coverage of Go ≥1.20 apps by helping to measure code coverage for functional and integration tests within GitHub Actions. Prior to version 0.2.1, due to a mis-written NetworkPolicy, a malicious actor can pivot from the "hardened" namespace to any Pod out of it. This breaks the security-by-default property expected as part of the deployment program, leading to a potential lateral movement. Removing the `inter-ns` NetworkPolicy patches the vulnerability in version 0.2.1. If updates are not possible in production environments, manually delete `inter-ns` and update as soon as possible. Given one's context, delete the failing network policy that should be prefixed by `inter-ns-` in the target namespace.

CVE-2026-32805 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Romeo is vulnerable to Archive Slip due to missing checks in sanitization
Romeo gives the capability to reach high code coverage of Go ≥1.20 apps by helping to measure code coverage for functional and integration tests within GitHub Actions. Prior to version 0.2.2, the `sanitizeArchivePath` function in `webserver/api/v1/decoder.go` (lines 80-88) is vulnerable to a path traversal bypass due to a missing trailing path separator in the `strings.HasPrefix` check. A crafted tar archive can write files outside the intended destination directory. Version 0.2.2 fixes the issue.

CVE-2025-53633 WRITEUP CRITICAL WRITEUP
ctfer-io chall-manager < 0.1.4 - Unauthenticated Denial of Service via Zip Bomb Decompression
Chall-Manager is a platform-agnostic system able to start Challenges on Demand of a player. When decoding a scenario (i.e. a zip archive), the size of the decoded content is not checked, potentially leading to zip bombs decompression. Exploitation does not require authentication nor authorization, so anyone can exploit it. It should nonetheless not be exploitable as it is highly recommended to bury Chall-Manager deep within the infrastructure due to its large capabilities, so no users could reach the system. Patch has been implemented by commit 14042aa and shipped in v0.1.4.

CVE-2025-53634 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
ctfer-io chall-manager < 0.1.4 - Unauthenticated Denial of Service via Slow Loris Attack
Chall-Manager is a platform-agnostic system able to start Challenges on Demand of a player. The HTTP Gateway processes headers, but with no timeout set. With a slow loris attack, an attacker could cause Denial of Service (DoS). Exploitation does not require authentication nor authorization, so anyone can exploit it. It should nonetheless not be exploitable as it is highly recommended to bury Chall-Manager deep within the infrastructure due to its large capabilities, so no users could reach the system. Patch has been implemented by commit 1385bd8 and shipped in v0.1.4.
