Received Received - Intake

Command Injection in Dokploy

Publication date: 2026-08-10

Last updated on: 2026-08-10

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, Dokploy passes user-controlled values directly into shell commands via unquoted template literal interpolation in the registry credential testing and Docker Swarm cluster management endbpoints. Both endpoints have a safe local code path (using execFileAsync or the Docker API) but a vulnerable remote path (using execAsyncRemote which runs the shell string via SSH). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.29.13.

Exploitability

CWE

CWE ID	Description
CWE-77	The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

Dokploy before version 0.29.13 has a vulnerability where user-controlled input is directly inserted into shell commands without proper quoting. This occurs in registry credential testing and Docker Swarm cluster management endpoints. While local code paths are safe, remote paths using SSH are vulnerable because they execute commands via shell strings.

Detection Guidance

Check Dokploy version with 'dokploy --version'. If it is below 0.29.13, the system is vulnerable. Inspect logs for registry credential testing or Docker Swarm cluster management actions that may indicate exploitation attempts.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary commands on the server with the privileges of the Dokploy service. This could lead to full system compromise, data theft, or unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or data breaches, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and access controls. Organizations using vulnerable versions may face compliance violations and legal consequences.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Dokploy to version 0.29.13 or later immediately. Review and restrict access to registry credential testing and Docker Swarm cluster management endpoints. Monitor for suspicious activity in logs.
