High CVSS base score, but low real-world exploitation probability (EPSS). Likely less urgent than the score implies.

Real, but low real-world risk

A genuine vulnerability on paper, but EPSS shows little real-world exploitation — the base score may overstate urgency. This is not the same as a false positive.

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

Dokploy is a free, self-hostable Platform as a Service (PaaS). In 0.26.5 and earlier, a critical path traversal vulnerability exists in Dokploy v0.26.5 that allows authenticated users to write arbitrary files to the filesystem during application deployment. When combined with Dokploy's remote server deployment feature, this vulnerability enables arbitrary file write to remote server filesystems, automatic remote code execution via cron jobs, complete server compromise, data exfiltration without user interaction, and persistent backdoor installation. This vulnerability bypasses all container isolation on remote server deployments.

    This scores high on paper (CVSS 9.9) but the real-world signal is low. It is not in CISA KEV and no public exploit was found, and near-term exploitation looks unlikely. Verify your own exposure before treating it as urgent. Not an emergency for most teams, but patch it in your normal cycle and check whether the affected component is actually exposed in your setup.
