CVE-2026-72878

Dokploy: OS Command Injection in backup/restore pipeline via unescaped user-controlled shell arguments

Published Aug 10, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.6 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, Dokploy's backup and restore pipeline constructs shell commands by directly interpolating user-controlled database fields into bash -c "..." and sh -c "..." strings, then executes them via child_process.exec(). An authenticated admin/owner can inject arbitrary OS commands that execute on the host machine running Dokploy (not just inside a container). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.29.13.
