Administrative actions via CSRF-exempt GET routes
Published Nov 17, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
CSRF in Pterodactyl Panel before 1.6.6 allows remote attackers to trigger test emails or node token generation via an administrator's browser. The administrative mail-test and node-token GET routes accepted session-cookie requests without enforcing Laravel CSRF verification. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to load attacker-controlled content; it sends email or creates an unrevealed token without disclosing data.
