Summary
Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, the compose.update operation stores an unvalidated composePath that packages/server/src/utils/builders/compose.ts and packages/server/src/services/compose.ts interpolate into docker compose -f, docker stack deploy -c, and touch shell commands executed through /bin/sh -c. An authenticated member with compose write and deploy permission can supply a crafted composePath, trigger compose.deploy or startCompose, and execute arbitrary operating-system commands in the Docker-privileged Dokploy host context. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.
