Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, apps/dokploy/server/api/routers/destination.ts interpolates the accessKey, secretAccessKey, region, endpoint, provider, and bucket fields from destination.testConnection into an rclone ls command executed through child_process.exec. The `withPermission("destination", "create")` path permits a low-privileged organization member to reach the mutation, close a quoted argument with a crafted field, and execute arbitrary commands in the root Dokploy container, which has access to the host Docker socket. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-72868 since 08/10/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely.
