CVE-2026-58455

What is known

Dockwatch through 0.6.567 contains an unauthenticated OS command injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands by exploiting a missing exit() after an authentication redirect in loader.php combined with unsanitized input passed to shell_exec() in ajax/compose.php. Attackers can seed the required session flag through the incomplete auth check, then inject arbitrary commands via the composePath POST parameter in the composePull action to achieve full host compromise, facilitated by the standard deployment mounting of the Docker socket.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-58455, a critical vulnerability (CVSS 9.2) affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether the affected product is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
