Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Pterodactyl/panel, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact Importing a malicious egg or gaining access to wings instance could lead to XSS on the panel, which could be used to gain an administrator account on the panel. Specifically, the following things are impacted: - Egg Docker images - Egg variables: - Name - Environment variable - Default value - Description - Validation rules Additionally, certain fields would reflect malicious input, but it would require the user knowingly entering such input to have an impact. To iterate, this would require an administrator to perform actions and can't be triggered by a normal panel user. ### Workarounds No workaround is available other than updating to the latest version of the panel. ### Patches All of the following commits are required to resolve this security issue: https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/1172d71d31561c4e465dabdf6b838e64de48ad16 https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/f671046947e4695b5e1c647df79305c1cefdf817 https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/0dad4c5a488661f9adc27dd311542516d9bfa0f2
