Remote Code Execution in Dokploy Self-Hosted PaaS

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, cloneGitRepository in packages/server/src/utils/providers/git.ts interpolates customGitUrl and customGitBranch into a git clone command passed to execAsync or execAsyncRemote, allowing an authenticated user with application access to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the Dokploy host by setting a malicious custom Git URL and triggering deployment. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.

Exploitability

CWE

CWE-78	The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

Dokploy is a self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). A vulnerability in versions before 0.29.13 allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary OS commands on the Dokploy host by injecting malicious input into a git clone command. This occurs because the customGitUrl and customGitBranch parameters are directly interpolated into the command without proper sanitization.

Detection Guidance

Check Dokploy version with 'dokploy --version' or inspect server logs for git clone operations with suspicious URLs or branches. Monitor for unauthorized command execution in system logs.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with application access could gain full control over the Dokploy server, allowing them to steal data, install malware, disrupt services, or pivot to other systems in the network. This could lead to complete compromise of the PaaS environment and any hosted applications.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and data breaches, violating GDPR's data protection requirements and HIPAA's security rules. Organizations using affected versions may face compliance violations, legal penalties, and reputational damage due to potential exposure of sensitive data.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Dokploy to version 0.29.13 or later immediately. Review and restrict user permissions in Dokploy. Audit deployment configurations for malicious Git URLs or branches.
