Horizon Alert
Summary of the vulnerability and why it matters
Dokploy's Docker file upload functionality contains a command injection vulnerability. This flaw allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the Dokploy host. The impact of such a compromise could include unauthorized data access, system modification, or disruption of services.
- Vulnerable file upload functionality
- Improper destination path sanitization
- Arbitrary OS command execution
Attack Path
How an attacker could exploit the issue
The Dokploy Platform as a Service allows authenticated users to upload files to containers. The system's file upload functionality contains a command injection vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this by manipulating the destination path during the file upload process to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the Dokploy host. This could lead to unauthorized control over the host system.
- Authenticated access to the upload feature.
- Attacker injects shell metacharacters.
- Arbitrary OS commands are executed.
Live Threat
Current exploitation, exposure, and threat context
A vulnerability in Dokploy's file upload functionality could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the host system. This could occur if an authenticated user uploads a specially crafted file, bypassing security measures by including specific characters in the file's destination path. The potential for unauthorized command execution presents a significant risk to the integrity and security of the host environment.
- Attackers with authenticated access.
- Exploitation requires network access.
- High business risk, potentially urgent.
Priority actions
Operational Fix
Recommended remediation, mitigation, and detection steps
This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the host system through a Docker file upload function. The impact can be severe, potentially leading to a complete compromise of the affected host. Attackers can leverage this by injecting malicious commands via specially crafted file uploads. This could affect systems, data, and expose the organization to significant business risk.
- Identify Dokploy instances with file upload functionality.
- Restrict file upload access.
- Update Dokploy and verify the fix.
