Summary
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.
Risk Assessment
The risk is the possibility of unauthorized creation of additional databases, which could lead to server overload or resource isolation breach.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Pterodactyl to version 1.12.3 or later.
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-2025-69197Medium
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.
- 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. Prior to version 1.12.3, the Pterodactyl Client API has a logic flaw that lets users bypass their assigned limits for database allocations. This happens because the database locking mechanism used in the controllers is totally broken and doesn't actually lock anything. Version 1.12.3 patches the issue.
