CVE-2026-45629

Dokploy · PaaS

An OS command injection vulnerability in the Dokploy /listen-deployment WebSocket endpoint allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands on remote servers.

Executive summary

An OS command injection flaw in the Dokploy WebSocket interface allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary code on managed remote servers.

Vulnerability

The /listen-deployment WebSocket endpoint fails to properly sanitize user input, leading to OS command injection. Authenticated organization members can abuse this to execute commands on remote servers managed by the Dokploy instance.

Business impact

This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 9.9, reflecting the risk of full server compromise across the entire managed infrastructure. An attacker with standard user access can escalate to full control over remote servers, leading to lateral movement and widespread system disruption.

Remediation

Immediate Action: Update to the latest version of Dokploy.

Proactive Monitoring: Monitor WebSocket traffic for suspicious payloads and review remote server logs for unauthorized command execution.

Compensating Controls: Restrict access to the Dokploy management console to trusted personnel and implement network-level egress filtering on managed servers to block unauthorized outbound connections from injected processes.

Exploitation status

Public Exploit Available: None

Analyst recommendation

Organizations should update their Dokploy instance immediately. Given the potential for lateral movement, a thorough audit of all managed remote servers is recommended to ensure no unauthorized persistence has been established.
