Other vulnerabilities in Wings
See all- CVE-2026-61617High
Wings (the server control plane for Pterodactyl) versions up to and including 1.13.2 do not enforce a server's disk quota during an SFTP transfer, allowing a tenant with SFTP write access to exhaust the host node's physical disk and take down every server on it. Available space is checked only once, when the write handle is opened, using a stale cached value and without knowing the size of the incoming data.
