AI security incident: Pterodactyl Panel Allows Cross-Node Server Configuration Disclosure via Remote API Mi...
Summary A missing authorization check in multiple controllers allows any user with access to a node secret token to fetch information about any server on a Pterodactyl instance, even if that server is associated with a different node. This issue stems from missing logic to verify that the node requesting server data is the same node that the server is associated with. Any authenticated Wings node can retrieve server installation scripts (potentially containing secret values) and manipulate the installation status of servers belonging to other nodes. Wings nodes may also manipulate the transfer status of servers belonging to other nodes. _This vulnerability requires a user to acquire a secret access token for a node.
