Last modified
CVE-2026-45406 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Dokku is a docker-powered PaaS. Prior to 0.38.2, the openresty-vhosts plugin copies files from an app's openresty/http-includes/ git repository directory to the host and then interpolates their filenames, unescaped, into a single-quoted shell string that is later parsed by eval.
Description
Dokku is a docker-powered PaaS. Prior to 0.38.2, the openresty-vhosts plugin copies files from an app's openresty/http-includes/ git repository directory to the host and then interpolates their filenames, unescaped, into a single-quoted shell string that is later parsed by eval. A filename containing a single quote breaks the quoting and allows command substitution to execute arbitrary commands on the host as the dokku user during the app's next deploy. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.38.2.
