Authenticated Command Injection in Dokploy File Mounts

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). In 0.28.8 and earlier, an authenticated user who can create or update file mounts for a service can inject shell metacharacters into filePath, causing Dokploy to execute attacker-controlled commands on the configured remote managed server over SSH. In the default deployment model, this yields direct remote host RCE from the web interface.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in Dokploy versions 0.28.8 and earlier allows an authenticated user with permission to create or update file mounts for a service to inject shell metacharacters into the filePath parameter. This can lead to the execution of attacker-controlled commands on the remote managed server over SSH. In the default setup, this results in remote code execution (RCE) on the server from the web interface.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if Dokploy version 0.28.8 or earlier is installed. Review file mount configurations for any suspicious shell metacharacters in filePath fields. Inspect SSH logs on managed servers for unexpected command execution from Dokploy.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on your server, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or system compromise. Since it requires authentication, attackers would need valid credentials or access to a user account with the right permissions.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or data breaches, which may violate compliance requirements under GDPR, HIPAA, or other regulations. Organizations using affected versions of Dokploy may face legal and financial penalties if sensitive data is exposed due to this flaw.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Dokploy to a version later than 0.28.8 to address the command injection vulnerability in file mounts.
