Exploitation Status
Proof-of-concept exploit code exists
- CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
- A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.

Description
Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, writeTraefikConfigRemote in packages/server/src/utils/traefik/application.ts serializes user-controlled Traefik configuration with yaml.stringify and interpolates the resulting yamlStr into an echo command executed through execAsyncRemote. Single quotes in redirect regex and replacement fields, basic authentication usernames, domain host values, or middleware configuration can terminate the shell quoting and execute arbitrary commands on managed remote servers with the configured SSH user's privileges. This vulnerability is caused by an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-45630. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2026-72735 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-72735 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-72735. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
