GHSA-7v3x-h7r2-34jv · Insufficient Session Expiration in Pterodactyl API

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

### Impact A vulnerability exists in Pterodactyl Panel `<= 1.6.6` that could allow a malicious attacker that compromises an API key to generate an authenticated user session that is not revoked when the API key is deleted, thus allowing the malicious user to remain logged in as the user the key belonged to. It is important to note that **a malicious user must first compromise an existing API key for a user to exploit this issue**. It cannot be exploited by chance, and requires a coordinated attack against an individual account using a known API key. ### Patches This issue has been addressed in the `v1.7.0` release of Pterodactyl Panel. ### Workarounds Those not wishing to upgrade may apply the change below: ```diff diff --git a/app/Http/Middleware/Api/AuthenticateKey.php b/app/Http/Middleware/Api/AuthenticateKey.php index eb25dac6..857bfab2 100644 --- a/app/Http/Middleware/Api/AuthenticateKey.php +++ b/app/Http/Middleware/Api/AuthenticateKey.php @@ -70,7 +70,7 @@ class AuthenticateKey } else { $model = $this->authenticateApiKey($request->bearerToken(), $keyType); - $this->auth->guard()->loginUsingId($model->user_id); + $this->auth->guard()->onceUsingId($model->user_id); } ``` ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory please reach out to `Tactical Fish#8008` on [Discord](https://discord.gg/pterodactyl) or email `[email protected]`.
