CVE-2026-72886: Dokploy: Non-admin member gains root on the host by bypassing the owner/admin check on server-level schedules (incomplete fix of CVE-2026-45632)
Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). From 0.29.2 until 0.29.13, schedule.create and schedule.update in apps/dokploy/server/api/routers/schedule.ts derive serviceId from applicationId or composeId and execute the owner/admin host-schedule gate only in the alternative branch, allowing a member with access to one application to attach its applicationId to a dokploy-server schedule and run a supplied script as root through schedule.runManually. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.
