pterodactyl/panel
source listedECOSYSTEM: introduced 0; fixed 1.11.8
### Impact When a user disables two-factor authentication via the Panel, a `DELETE` request with their current password in a query parameter will be sent. While query parameters are encrypted when using TLS, many webservers (including ones officially documented for use with Pterodactyl) will log query parameters in plain-text, storing a user's password in plain text. If a malicious user obtains access to these logs they could *potentially* authenticate against a user's account; assuming they are able to discover the account's email address or username **separately**. ### Patches This problem has been patched by on the `1.0-develop` branch and released under `v1.11.8` as a single commit on top of `v1.11.7` Patch file: ### Workarounds There are no workarounds at this time. There is not a direct vulnerability within the software as it relates to logs generated by intermediate components such as webservers or Layer

What to do next
- vendor patch
The original advisory lists fixed boundaries 1.11.8 for pterodactyl/panel. Confirm the publisher’s latest guidance.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database via OSV
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
