SCA: security update for pterodactyl/panel (GHSA-xvc3-826v-xf47)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445403

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. From 1.7.0 until 1.13.0, the
authentication rate limiter defined in RouteServiceProvider::configureRateLimiting() applied a single
global bucket to the login and two-factor checkpoint endpoints instead of keying by IP or account: the
fall-through Limit::perMinute(10) covering POST /auth/login and POST /auth/login/checkpoint omitted
->by(), so Laravel derived a constant cache key (md5('authentication')) shared by every request. An
unauthenticated attacker sending roughly ten requests per minute from a single IP, most cheaply against
the checkpoint endpoint (which has no reCAPTCHA), exhausts the shared counter and causes HTTP 429 for
every user attempting to log in or complete two-factor authentication, a panel-wide authentication denial
of service that also locks out administrators. This issue is fixed in version 1.13.0. (CVE-2026-61609)

Solution

Update the pterodactyl/panel library and its related packages to version 1.13.0 or later.
