CVE-2026-72739: Dokploy: Command Injection via Compose Shell Execution

Published Aug 10, 2026
·
Updated

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, the createCommand() function constructs shell commands by interpolating compose service names and configuration into bash command strings. When a compose with a maliciously crafted name or service definition is deployed, the shell metacharacters are interpreted as command separators, allowing arbitrary command execution on the Docker host. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.29.13.
