Summary
Pterodactyl is a free, open-source game server management panel. Versions 1.11.11 and below allow TOTP to be used multiple times during its validity window. After sign-in, the token is not sufficiently marked as used, allowing an attacker who intercepted the token (e.g., during a screen share) to reuse it within the 60-second validity window along with known credentials. This is fixed in version 1.12.0.
Risk Assessment
Reuse of a 2FA token may allow an attacker to bypass two-factor authentication and take over an account if they know the credentials. The risk is high as it only requires intercepting the token within a short time window.
Recommendation
Immediately update Pterodactyl to version 1.12.0 or later. It is also recommended to educate users about the risks of screen sharing during login.
Other vulnerabilities in Pterodactyl
See all- CVE-2026-61609High
A vulnerability in Pterodactyl causes a global login rate limit affecting all users. The limit is global, not per IP, allowing an attacker to block login for everyone by sending about 10 requests per minute.
- CVE-2026-54593High
A vulnerability in Pterodactyl allows an authenticated subuser to write arbitrary files to the server without the required permissions. A JWT token issued for other operations (e.g., WebSocket) can be reused for file uploads.
- CVE-2026-35202Low
Vulnerability in Pterodactyl prior to version 1.12.3. A logic flaw in the Client API allows users to bypass database allocation limits due to a broken locking mechanism.
- CVE-2025-68954Medium
Pterodactyl is a free, open-source game server management panel. Versions 1.11.11 and below do not revoke active SFTP connections when a user is removed from a server instance or has their permissions changes with respect to file access over SFTP. This allows a user that was already connected to SFTP to remain connected and access files even after their permissions are revoked. A user must have been connected to SFTP at the time of their permissions being revoked in order for this vulnerability to be exploited. This issue is fixed in version 1.12.0.
Original NVD description (English source)
Pterodactyl is a free, open-source game server management panel. Versions 1.11.11 and below allow TOTP to be used multiple times during its validity window. Users with 2FA enabled are prompted to enter a token during sign-in, and afterward it is not sufficiently marked as used in the system. This allows an attacker who intercepts that token to use it in addition to a known username/password during the 60-second token validity window. The attacker must have intercepted a valid 2FA token (for example, during a screen share). This issue is fixed in version 1.12.0.
