  "payload": {
    "kind": "advisory",
    "title": "Trigger.dev: V1 coordinator default-secret unauth Socket.IO",
    "summary": "## TL;DR The /coordinator Socket.IO namespace mounts on every webapp boot and authenticates with a default secret (\"coordinator-secret\") baked into source. The override variable isn't documented in the self-host docs, .env.example, or helm values, so any operator who didn't read source ships with the default. Once connected, READY_FOR_EXECUTION returns the run's decrypted env vars. Anyone who can reach a default-config self-hosted webapp can pull production secrets out of any run whose internal id they can find. ## Vulnerabilities This attack is made possible by 3 vulnerabilities in Trigger.dev: ### 1. Hardcoded default authentication secret (CWE-798, Critical) PROVIDER_SECRET and COORDINATOR_SECRET are declared with `.default(\"provider-secret\")` / `.default(\"coordinator-secret\")` in [`apps/webapp/app/env.server.ts:289-290`](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/blob/v4.4.4/apps/webapp/app/env.server.ts#L289-L290). The values are present in the public source repo, neither var is documented in `docs/self-hosting/env/*.mdx`, `hosting/docker/.env.example`, or `hosting/k8s/helm/values.yaml`, and the auth check at [`packages/core/src/v3/zodNamespace.ts:148`](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/blob/v4.4.4/packages/core/src/v3/zodNamespace.ts#L148) is a plain string compare against that published value ### 2. Coordinator handler returns decrypted env vars to any authenticated caller (CWE-200, High) `READY_FOR_EXECUTION` at [`apps/webapp/app/v3/handleSocketIo.server.",
