Privilege escalation in Dokploy

CVE-2026-45790

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.6, Dokploy's organization.inviteMember tRPC procedure in apps/dokploy/server/api/routers/organization.ts allows a user with member:create permission to invite an account with the owner role, while packages/server/src/services/user.ts allows a privileged self-hosted user to create an account with an arbitrary role, enabling permanent organization takeover because owner roles cannot be demoted. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.6.
