What is CVE-2026-72739?
CVE-2026-72739 is a medium-severity command injection vulnerability in dokploy, published on 10 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, the createCommand() function constructs shell commands by interpolating compose service names and configuration into bash command strings. When a compose with a maliciously crafted name or service definition is deployed, the shell metacharacters are interpreted as command separators, allowing arbitrary command execution on the Docker host. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.29.13.
