Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-08 06:31 – Updated: 2026-10-08 06:31A vulnerability in Brocade SANnav before 3.0.1 can have the Brocade Fabric OS switch admin password captured in plaintext within a memory swap file on the server hosting the Brocade SANnav Virtual Machine (VM). This can happen when the SANnav server encounters an Out Of Memory (OOM) condition. The vulnerability could allow an authenticated admin user with access to the server hosting the SANnav to potentially view the memory swap file and access the password(s).

GHSA-C479-WQ8G-57HR
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-24 19:07 – Updated: 2024-10-25 16:47Impact
When a user disables two-factor authentication via the Panel, a DELETE request with their current password in a query parameter will be sent. While query parameters are encrypted when using TLS, many webservers (including ones officially documented for use with Pterodactyl) will log query parameters in plain-text, storing a user's password in plain text.
If a malicious user obtains access to these logs they could potentially authenticate against a user's account; assuming they are able to discover the account's email address or username separately.
Patches
This problem has been patched by https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/8be2b892c3940bdc0157ccdab16685a72d105dd1 on the 1.0-develop branch and released under v1.11.8 as a single commit on top of v1.11.7 https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/75b59080e2812ced677dab516222b2a3bb34e3a4
Patch file: https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/8be2b892c3940bdc0157ccdab16685a72d105dd1.patch
Workarounds
There are no workarounds at this time. There is not a direct vulnerability within the software as it relates to logs generated by intermediate components such as webservers or Layer 7 proxies.
Updating to v1.11.8 or adding the linked patch manually are the only ways to avoid this problem.
User Notice
As this vulnerability relates to historical logging of sensitive data, users who have ever disabled 2FA on a Panel (self-hosted or operated by a company) should change their passwords and consider enabling 2FA if it was left disabled. While it's unlikely that your account will be compromised by this vulnerability, it's not impossible.
Panel administrators should consider clearing any access logs that may contain sensitive data, for Panels using NGINX, the access log is located at /var/log/nginx/pterodactyl.app-access.log.

This vulnerability is due to the improper storage of sensitive information within config only and full backup files. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by parsing the contents of a backup file that is generated from an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to access sensitive information, including NDFC-connected device credentials, the NDFC site manager private key, and the scheduled backup file encryption key.
