RCE in Dokploy

CVE-2026-72738

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, the backup.listBackupFiles tRPC endpoint in apps/dokploy/server/api/routers/backup.ts passes the search parameter through normalizeS3Path and interpolates it into an rclone lsjson command executed by child_process.exec(), allowing an authenticated user with backup:read permission to execute arbitrary commands on the Dokploy host. This issue is fixed in version 0.29.13.
