Password exposure via two-factor disable query parameter
Published Oct 24, 2024 · Updated Oct 25, 2024
Cleartext password exposure in Pterodactyl Panel before 1.11.8 allows attackers to obtain account credentials through access logs. The disableAccountTwoFactor client sends the current password as a DELETE query parameter, which intermediary access logs record in plaintext. Exploitation requires privileged log access and separate knowledge of the account identifier, enabling account authentication but not direct server compromise.
