Verified Advisory
Sensitive configuration exposure in Pterodactyl Wings templating engine (CVE-2026-52855)
Pterodactyl Wings exposes its entire daemon configuration to the egg configuration-file templating engine without restricting which paths may be read. A low-privileged user who can set egg variable values may inject `{{config.*}}` placeholders that are resolved by Wings and written to files accessible via the file manager or SFTP, enabling exfiltration of the node daemon token and container-registry credentials. Possession of the daemon token allows an attacker to forge authentication tokens and compromise every server on the affected node.
Affected versions:
- < 1.12.2
We recommend updating to: 1.12.3.
