Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Dokploy versions 0.28.8 and earlier allow an authenticated organization member to run operating-system commands through the deployment WebSocket endpoint. A compromised or low-trust member account could lead to full compromise of servers managed by Dokploy.
Executive priority
Treat this as urgent for any production Dokploy deployment. The issue can turn an ordinary organization-member account into server-level compromise across managed infrastructure.
Technical view
CVE-2026-45629 is CWE-78 command injection in Dokploy's /listen-deployment WebSocket endpoint. The CVSS 3.1 score is 9.9 because exploitation is network-accessible, low complexity, requires low privileges, needs no user interaction, and can impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability across scope.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to organizations running self-hosted Dokploy 0.28.8 or earlier, especially where multiple organization members can access deployment functionality or where Dokploy manages production servers.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not cite active exploitation, and KEV status is false. The risk remains high because any authenticated organization member can reportedly execute arbitrary commands on remote servers managed by Dokploy.
Researcher notes
Evidence supports authenticated command injection in /listen-deployment affecting Dokploy <=0.28.8. Patch details are not present in the supplied bundle, so remediation should be tied to the GitHub advisory or vendor release notes.
Mitigation direction
- Identify all Dokploy instances and confirm their running versions.
- Follow Dokploy's security advisory for confirmed fixed versions or vendor mitigation guidance.
- Restrict Dokploy organization membership to trusted, necessary users only.
- Review and revoke stale or unnecessary Dokploy accounts and access tokens.
- Limit network exposure to Dokploy administrative and WebSocket endpoints where operationally possible.
Validation and detection
- Check whether any Dokploy instance runs version 0.28.8 or earlier.
- Review Dokploy organization members for unexpected or low-trust accounts.
- Inspect deployment and WebSocket-related logs for unusual authenticated activity.
- Assess managed servers for unexpected commands, processes, persistence, or configuration changes.
- Confirm remediation by retesting version inventory and access controls.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
