SCA: security update for pterodactyl/panel (GHSA-jw2v-cq5x-q68g)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436819

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Pterodactyl is a free, open-source game server management panel. Pterodactyl implements rate limits that
 are applied to the total number of resources (e.g. databases, port allocations, or backups) that can exist
 for an individual server. These resource limits are applied on a per-server basis, and validated during
 the request cycle. However, in versions prior to 1.12.0, it is possible for a malicious user to send a
 massive volume of requests at the same time that would create more resources than the server is allotted.
 This is because the validation occurs early in the request cycle and does not lock the target resource
 while it is processing. As a result sending a large volume of requests at the same time would lead all of
 those requests to validate as not using any of the target resources, and then all creating the resources
 at the same time. As a result a server would be able to create more databases, allocations, or backups
 than configured. A malicious user is able to deny resources to other users on the system, and may be able
 to excessively consume the limited allocations for a node, or fill up backup space faster than is allowed
 by the system. Version 1.12.0 fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-69198)

Solution

Update the pterodactyl/panel library and its related packages to version 1.12.0 or later.
