Summary

CVE-2026-72867 is a critical-severity Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 9.9 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked at the 40th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-25 (Reference Monitor) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). From 0.29.3 until 0.29.13, the incomplete fix for CVE-2026-45628 leaves packages/server/src/db/schema/compose.ts branch fields without server-side validation, allowing a direct compose.update request to store a malicious customGitBranch, branch, gitlabBranch, bitbucketBranch, or…

giteaBranch. A low-privileged authenticated user can trigger compose.deploy, which passes the stored branch to shell-based Git clone commands in packages/server/src/utils/providers/git.ts, github.ts, gitlab.ts, bitbucket.ts, and gitea.ts, resulting in arbitrary host command execution. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Requires a tamper-proof, always-invoked reference monitor that cannot be bypassed by client-side logic.

Enforces all access decisions on the server according to policy rather than trusting client-supplied enforcement.

Enforces information-flow rules at the server boundary instead of delegating them to the client.

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing input validation through analysis or test cases.

SI-10 directly requires validity checks on information inputs, structurally preventing improper or missing validation.

Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.

Secure SDLC practices directly require and enforce input validation during development.

prevents

Proper policy-based enforcement of authorizations implies server-side controls rather than client-only checks.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).

prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage client-side trust but do not directly address this weakness.

finds

Testing against a defined set of requirements and using code review plus vulnerability scanning forces validation of inputs and handling of unanticipated conditions, reducing the chance that malformed data will be accepted.

prevents

Information access restriction is undermined when the client is trusted to enforce it.

prevents

Secure-coding guidelines and mandatory security testing (including code scans) compel developers to validate and sanitize inputs at design and implementation time, lowering the incidence of malformed or malicious data reaching downstream components.

prevents

Mandating input controls that include integrity checks and input validation ensures that untrusted data is examined before use, blocking the root cause of many injection and malformed-data weaknesses.

prevents

Requiring language-specific secure coding standards, peer review, SAST and documented mitigation of common programming errors forces validation of all inputs before they are trusted.
