EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This critical-severity CVE scores 9.6 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 81% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). Prior to 0.29.13, Dokploy's backup and restore pipeline constructs shell commands by directly interpolating user-controlled database fields into bash -c "..." and sh -c "..." strings, then executes them via child_process.exec(). An authenticated admin/owner can inject arbitrary OS commands that execute on the host machine running Dokploy (not just inside a container). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.29.13.
