CVE-2026-45661Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unvalidated ZIP paths

Published May 29, 2026 · Updated May 29, 2026

Path traversal in Dokploy 0.26.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to write arbitrary files during application deployment. The Drop builder in packages/server/src/utils/builders/drop.ts joins each untrusted ZIP entry name to outputPath without rejecting traversal or confirming that the normalized result remains beneath the extraction directory. Deployment permission is required; with remote-server SFTP deployment, a crafted entry can write a cron file on the target host and execute commands outside container isolation.
