Horizon Alert
Summary of the vulnerability and why it matters
This vulnerability affects Dokploy, a self-hosted Platform as a Service tool, and allows authenticated users with deployment permissions to execute arbitrary commands on the host system. This could enable significant compromise of the infrastructure supporting your applications. The primary concern is confirming whether this technology is in use within your environment.
- Command execution on host systems.
- Impacts self-hosted PaaS deployment tools.
- Confirm relevance and exposure within your environment.
Attack Path
How an attacker could exploit the issue
An attacker with service deployment permissions could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted Bitbucket owner or repository names. These inputs are not properly validated and are used in commands to clone repositories, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the Dokploy host or a target server.
- Member with deployment permissions.
- Saving Bitbucket provider configuration.
- Arbitrary command execution on host.
Live Threat
Current exploitation, exposure, and threat context
When supported, a member with service deployment permissions could execute arbitrary operating system commands on the Dokploy host or target server. This could allow unauthorized actions on the affected systems.
- Arbitrary OS commands on host systems.
- Unvalidated input in command execution.
- Compromise of deployed applications.
Operational Fix
Recommended remediation, mitigation, and detection steps
Given Dokploy is a self-hostable PaaS, the platform or infrastructure team responsible for its deployment and maintenance is likely to own this vulnerability. The first practical step is to identify all Dokploy instances, assess their reachability and business criticality, and then determine the accountable owner for remediation.
- Platform/Infrastructure team owns this.
- Verify Dokploy instance reachability and criticality.
- Plan remediation based on identified risk.
