CVE-2023-25168: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')

February 9, 2023 (updated November 7, 2023)

Wings is Pterodactyl’s server control plane. This vulnerability can be used to delete files and directories recursively on the host system. This vulnerability can be combined with GHSA-p8r3-83r8-jwj5 to overwrite files on the host system. In order to use this exploit, an attacker must have an existing “server” allocated and controlled by Wings. This vulnerability has been resolved in version v1.11.4 of Wings, and has been back-ported to the 1.7 release series in v1.7.4. Anyone running v1.11.x should upgrade to v1.11.4 and anyone running v1.7.x should upgrade to v1.7.4. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
