Account access via unrevoked password-change sessions
Published Aug 17, 2026 · Updated Aug 18, 2026
Insufficient session expiration in Dokploy before 0.29.6 allows remote attackers to retain account access via a stolen session token after a password change. The user.update handler in apps/dokploy/server/api/routers/user.ts updates account.password but does not revoke Better Auth sessions or delete other session rows, so pre-change better-auth.session_token cookies remain valid. Exploitation requires prior compromise of an active user session, after which the attacker keeps that user's existing privileges for up to three days despite credential rotation.
