Description

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). In versions prior to 0.26.6, a hardcoded credential in the provided installation script (located at https://dokploy.com/install.sh, line 154) uses a hardcoded password when creating the database container. This means that nearly all Dokploy installations use the same database credentials and could be compromised. Version 0.26.6 contains a patch for the issue.

Affected products

dokploy: before 0.26.6 — fixed in 0.26.6

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: dokploy 0.26.6. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
