Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as very critical has been found in Dokploy up to 0.29.12. This affects the function buildRemoteDocker of the file packages/server/src/utils/providers/docker.ts of the component Docker Provider. The manipulation of the argument dockerImage with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on 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 buildRemoteDocker() function in packages/server/src/utils/providers/docker.ts interpolates the application-controlled dockerImage value directly into a docker pull shell command. An authenticated user with project access can set a crafted dockerImage through application.update and trigger application.deploy, causing execAsync() to execute arbitrary operating-system commands as the Dokploy server process. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.

It is possible to read the advisory at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-72870 since 08/10/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy.
