Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as very critical was found in Dokploy up to 0.29.12. Affected by this vulnerability is the function backup.restoreBackupWithLogs of the file packages/server/src/utils/restore/utils.ts of the component Backup Restore. The manipulation of the argument databaseName/backupFile with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, the backup.restoreBackupWithLogs tRPC subscription builds database restore shell pipelines from the user-controlled databaseName and backupFile fields without safely separating them from shell syntax. packages/server/src/utils/restore/utils.ts interpolates databaseName into database-specific restore commands, while packages/server/src/utils/restore/postgres.ts and the analogous restore modules interpolate backupFile into rclone paths. An authenticated member with backup-restore permission can inject operating-system commands that execute in the Dokploy host context through execAsync or execAsyncRemote, even when no valid database container or backup file exists. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.

The advisory is shared at github.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-72733 since 08/10/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 08/10/2026).
