Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Dokploy up to 0.29.12 and classified as very critical. Affected by this vulnerability is the function compose.update of the file packages/server/src/utils/builders/compose.ts of the component Compose. The manipulation of the argument composePath 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 compose.update operation stores an unvalidated composePath that packages/server/src/utils/builders/compose.ts and packages/server/src/services/compose.ts interpolate into docker compose -f, docker stack deploy -c, and touch shell commands executed through /bin/sh -c. An authenticated member with compose write and deploy permission can supply a crafted composePath, trigger compose.deploy or startCompose, and execute arbitrary operating-system commands in the Docker-privileged Dokploy host context. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.
