Path Traversal 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, the apiCreateCertificate schema in packages/server/src/db/schema/certificate.ts accepts a client-supplied certificatePath, and packages/server/src/services/certificate.ts joins that value to the certificate root without confinement. An authenticated user with certificate create or delete permission can use certificatePath to write attacker-controlled certificate content outside the intended directory or delete an out-of-root directory. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.29.13.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

Dokploy before version 0.29.13 has a vulnerability where the apiCreateCertificate schema allows users to supply a certificatePath that is joined to the certificate root without proper confinement. This lets authenticated users with certificate permissions write malicious certificate content outside the intended directory or delete files outside the root directory.

Detection Guidance

Check Dokploy version with 'dokploy version'. If it is below 0.29.13, the system is vulnerable. Review certificate creation logs for unexpected paths or unauthorized file writes.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with certificate permissions could overwrite sensitive files outside the intended directory, leading to data corruption, unauthorized access, or denial of service. They could also delete critical system files, disrupting service availability.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or deletion, violating GDPR's integrity and confidentiality requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information. Non-compliance risks include fines and legal penalties.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Dokploy to version 0.29.13 or later immediately. Restrict user permissions to prevent unauthorized certificate path manipulation. Monitor for suspicious file writes outside intended directories.
