What it is

⚡ A hardcoded password in Dokploy’s installation script means nearly ALL installations are running on the same credentials! 🚨 Think of it like a coffee shop giving out the same key to every customer for the restroom—anyone can walk in and take a look around without being questioned! This vulnerability could allow an attacker to access and manipulate your database, compromising sensitive data and potentially leading to a complete takeover of your application. Imagine the chaos if your customer data gets into the wrong hands or your app ends up hijacked!

Put simply

What to do

This vulnerability could allow an attacker to access and manipulate your database, compromising sensitive data and potentially leading to a complete takeover of your application. Imagine the chaos if your customer data gets into the wrong hands or your app ends up hijacked! Immediately update to Dokploy version 0.26.6 or later to eliminate this vulnerability. Additionally, consider changing your database credentials to something unique and secure right away! You've got this! Follow these steps, and you'll have your Dokploy installation secured in no time! 🛡️
