Host root shell via unchecked local terminal access
Published Aug 10, 2026 · Updated Aug 10, 2026
Missing authorization in Dokploy before 0.29.13 allows remote authenticated users to obtain a root shell through the terminal WebSocket. The handler in apps/dokploy/server/wss/terminal.ts validates the session but accepts serverId=local without checking organization membership, role, or server access. Any valid session can therefore reach an interactive shell on the self-hosted Dokploy server and read or alter host data and services.
