CVE-2023-25168

25
FAUCET Score

CVE-2023-25168 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting Pterodactyl Wings, a server control plane, allowing an authenticated attacker to recursively delete files and directories on the host system. This vulnerability, with a CVSS score of 8.2, can be combined with GHSA-p8r3-83r8-jwj5 to achieve file overwrites, leading to significant impact on system integrity and availability. While requiring an existing "server" allocated to the attacker, the attack complexity is high. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Organizations should upgrade to Wings v1.11.4 or v1.7.4 immediately as no workarounds exist.
