CVE-2026-82954 is a path traversal flaw (CWE-22) in Dokploy, an open-source self-hosted application deployment platform, affecting all versions up to and including 0.29.7. The issue is in the writeTraefikConfigInPath function of packages/server/src/utils/traefik/application.ts, part of the Settings component, where manipulation of the 'path' argument causes the application to write Traefik configuration files to attacker-influenced locations outside the intended directory; the attack is launched remotely and, per the CVSS 4.0 vector, requires only low privileges (an authenticated low-privileged user) and no user interaction. By writing files to arbitrary paths, an attacker can overwrite or tamper with sensitive files such as the Traefik dynamic configuration, potentially disrupting service routing or enabling further compromise of the host. Anyone running Dokploy 0.29.7 or earlier — typically administrators of self-hosted servers — is affected; the vendor was contacted early but did not respond, so there is no coordinated advisory or confirmed fixed release yet. A public exploit is reported to exist and may be used; current exploitation likelihood is modest (EPSS ~0.6% over 30 days) and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

What to do: Upgrade to the latest available Dokploy release (newer than 0.29.7) as soon as a patched build is published, since the vendor has not yet responded and no fixed version is confirmed. Until then, restrict access to the Dokploy panel to trusted networks only (VPN, firewall rules, or an authenticating reverse proxy) and check the Traefik configuration directory for unexpected or out-of-place file writes that could indicate exploitation. Monitor this disclosure for updates, as it is currently uncoordinated with the vendor.

Estimated exposure
moderatelikely on the order of thousands of self-hosted instances, with an unknown fraction exposed to the internet — Dokploy is a popular open-source self-hosted PaaS with no public install-count telemetry, so this estimate reflects the project's community size and the common deployment pattern of running the admin panel on an internet-reachable server.

Order-of-magnitude estimate by the model from install counts, market share and public scan data it knows; verify before quoting.

Description

A vulnerability was detected in Dokploy up to 0.29.7. This issue affects the function writeTraefikConfigInPath of the file packages/server/src/utils/traefik/application.ts of the component Settings. The manipulation of the argument path results in path traversal. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
