Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Dokploy versions before 0.29.13 allow a user with limited privileges to manipulate a database image setting so the underlying host executes unintended operating-system commands. Successful exploitation could compromise data, alter services, and disrupt the host running Dokploy.
Executive priority
Prioritize remediation immediately, especially for internet-reachable or multi-user installations. The vulnerability requires some privileges, but its low complexity and potential host-wide confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact justify emergency patching and retrospective review.
Technical view
Six database deployment functions insert the user-controlled dockerImage value without safe quoting into a shell-based docker pull operation on the remote-server path. This CWE-78 command injection crosses a security boundary and can produce host-level remote code execution. The published CVSS 3.1 score is 9.9.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to Dokploy installations earlier than 0.29.13 using affected MariaDB, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, or libSQL deployment paths. The CVSS vector indicates network reachability and low privileges are required, with no user interaction. The sources do not further define required roles or configuration.
Exploitation context
The supplied sources establish a viable authenticated command-injection path but provide no evidence of exploitation in the wild. The CVE is not listed as KEV in the source bundle. Treat reachable, multi-user Dokploy deployments as urgent because successful abuse can affect the host beyond the vulnerable service.
Researcher notes
The affected code paths are mariadb.ts, mongo.ts, mysql.ts, postgres.ts, redis.ts, and libsql.ts on remote-server deployments. The central issue is unsafe shell interpolation of dockerImage. Public materials identify the vulnerable versions and fixing release, but the supplied evidence does not establish observed attacks or clarify the minimum Dokploy role required.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade Dokploy to version 0.29.13 or later.
- Restrict Dokploy access to trusted administrators until the upgrade is verified.
- Review vendor guidance and the referenced advisory for any additional precautions.
- Investigate potentially malicious database image values on previously vulnerable systems.
Validation and detection
- Inventory every Dokploy instance and record its installed version.
- Confirm each instance reports version 0.29.13 or later.
- Review affected database service configurations for unexpected dockerImage values.
- Examine relevant deployment and host logs for suspicious activity during the exposure window.
- Verify authorized staging deployments safely reject malformed image identifiers.
