Received Received - Intake

Command Injection in Dokploy Prior to 0.29.13

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, the backup.listBackupFiles tRPC endpoint in apps/dokploy/server/api/routers/backup.ts passes the search parameter through normalizeS3Path and interpolates it into an rclone lsjson command executed by child_process.exec(), allowing an authenticated user with backup:read permission to execute arbitrary commands on the Dokploy host. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is in Dokploy, a self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). It allows authenticated users with backup:read permission to execute arbitrary commands on the Dokploy host by exploiting the backup.listBackupFiles tRPC endpoint. The issue arises because the search parameter is passed through normalizeS3Path and interpolated into an rclone lsjson command without proper sanitization.

Detection Guidance

Check Dokploy version with 'dokploy --version' or via the web interface. If version is below 0.29.13, the system is vulnerable. Review logs for unusual child_process.exec() calls in backup operations.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with backup:read permission could execute arbitrary commands on the Dokploy host, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or system compromise. This could disrupt services, expose sensitive data, or allow further attacks on the host system.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or data breaches, violating compliance requirements such as GDPR (data protection) or HIPAA (health information privacy). Organizations using affected versions may face legal penalties, reputational damage, and loss of trust.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Dokploy to version 0.29.13 or later immediately. Remove backup:read permissions from untrusted users until patched. Monitor for unauthorized command execution in system logs.
