CVE-2026-72879: Dokploy: Command Injection via Registry Credentials in Swarm Upload

CriticalCVSS 9.4 · v4.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 37/100)

The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.48% (FIRST EPSS).
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
Fixed version: Dokploy dokploy 0.29.8.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Dokploy dokploy 0.29.8 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.8, the getRegistryCommands() function in packages/server/src/utils/cluster/upload.ts interpolates registry.password and registry.registryUrl directly into a shell command without escaping. An authenticated user with project access can configure malicious registry credentials and trigger a swarm deployment to execute arbitrary OS commands on the Dokploy server, read or modify host files, and access other containers through Docker. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.8.

Root cause

User input is inserted as text into a shell command. The shell may interpret special characters in the input as part of the command.
