Dokploy Schedule Privilege Escalation via Script Execution

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). From 0.29.2 until 0.29.13, schedule.create and schedule.update in apps/dokploy/server/api/routers/schedule.ts derive serviceId from applicationId or composeId and execute the owner/admin host-schedule gate only in the alternative branch, allowing a member with access to one application to attach its applicationId to a dokploy-server schedule and run a supplied script as root through schedule.runManually. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

Dokploy versions 0.29.2 to 0.29.13 have a vulnerability where schedule.create and schedule.update functions allow a member with access to one application to attach its applicationId to a Dokploy-server schedule and run a supplied script as root through schedule.runManually. This bypasses proper authorization checks.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with member-level access could escalate privileges to run arbitrary code as root on the server. This could lead to full system compromise, data theft, or disruption of services.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and access controls. Non-compliance risks include legal penalties and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Dokploy to version 0.29.13 or later to address the vulnerability in schedule.create and schedule.update functions.
