CVE-2026-45662: Dokploy: Command Injection via incomplete shell escaping in docker logout (registry deletion)

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). In 0.29.0 and earlier, the deleteRegistry function in Dokploy (packages/server/src/services/registry.ts) executes docker logout ${response.registryUrl} without shell escaping. In the same file, the docker login command correctly uses shEscape() to prevent command injection. This inconsistency creates a command injection vulnerability when deleting a registry with a crafted registryUrl.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

Dokploy’s registry deletion path can let a logged-in attacker make the server run unintended shell commands. Because Dokploy manages application deployment infrastructure, successful abuse could expose secrets, alter hosted services, or disrupt availability on affected self-hosted instances.

Executive priority

Treat as high priority for any Dokploy-backed production environment. The risk is not confirmed as actively exploited, but the impact reaches the deployment host and services it manages.

Technical view

In Dokploy 0.29.0 and earlier, deleteRegistry in packages/server/src/services/registry.ts runs docker logout with an unescaped registryUrl. The same file escapes docker login, showing the logout path is inconsistent. The flaw is CWE-78 command injection with CVSS 8.8, requiring low privileges and no user interaction.

Likely exposure

Exposure is likely limited to self-hosted Dokploy installations running version 0.29.0 or earlier where authenticated users can create, manage, or delete registries.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show known active exploitation, and the CVE is not listed as KEV. Exploitation requires authenticated access, but CVSS indicates low attack complexity and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.

Researcher notes

Evidence is strongest for the vulnerable code path and affected versions. The bundle does not name a fixed release, workaround, proof of exploitation, or KEV listing, so remediation should track Dokploy’s official advisory.

Mitigation direction

  • Check Dokploy vendor advisory and releases for the named fixed version or workaround.
  • Upgrade affected Dokploy instances when vendor guidance identifies a safe release.
  • Limit registry management permissions to trusted administrators only.
  • Review existing registryUrl values for unexpected shell metacharacters or suspicious content.
  • Restrict network and host privileges for the Dokploy service where feasible.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Dokploy instances and identify versions at or below 0.29.0.
  • Confirm whether non-admin or low-privileged users can manage registries.
  • Review registry deletion audit logs around suspicious registryUrl values.
  • Inspect deployments for package/server/src/services/registry.ts behavior if running custom builds.
  • Check CVE and GitHub advisory updates for patch status changes.
