CVE-2026-72876 Dokploy CVE debrief

Who should care

Administrators and users of Dokploy instances should assess exposure and apply the patch in version 0.29.13. Operators, platform administrators, and security teams need to review affected scope, apply patches, and verify compensating controls. Vulnerability management and security teams should prioritize patching and verify ownership checks and nodeId interpolation.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-72876 is a critical vulnerability in Dokploy that allows for arbitrary command execution on another tenant's server. Defenders should prioritize patching to version 0.29.13 and verify ownership checks and nodeId interpolation.

• Potential for unauthorized command execution on another tenant's server
• Elevation of privileges for callers with server:read permission
• Lateral movement and access to sensitive data

Technical summary

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, swarm.getNodes, swarm.getNodeInfo, swarm.getNodeApps, and swarm.getAppInfos in apps/dokploy/server/api/routers/swarm.ts accept another organization’s serverId without an activeOrganizationId ownership check, and getNodeInfo in packages/server/src/services/docker.ts interpolates nodeId into execAsyncRemote, allowing a caller with server:read permission to execute arbitrary commands as the configured SSH user on another tenant’s server.

Defensive priority

High

Recommended defensive actions

• Review and apply the patch in version 0.29.13
• Verify activeOrganizationId ownership checks in swarm.getNodes, swarm.getNodeInfo, swarm.getNodeApps, and swarm.getAppInfos
• Validate and restrict nodeId interpolation in execAsyncRemote
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up.
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified.
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review.
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented.
