Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Dokploy up to 0.29.12 and classified as critical. This issue affects the function apiCreateCertificate of the file packages/server/src/db/schema/certificate.ts of the component Certificate. The manipulation of the argument certificatePath with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Impacted is 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 apiCreateCertificate schema in packages/server/src/db/schema/certificate.ts accepts a client-supplied certificatePath, and packages/server/src/services/certificate.ts joins that value to the certificate root without confinement. An authenticated user with certificate create or delete permission can use certificatePath to write attacker-controlled certificate content outside the intended directory or delete an out-of-root directory. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.29.13.
