This vulnerability can be used to delete files and directories recursively on the host system.  This vulnerability can be combined with `GHSA-p8r3-83r8-jwj5` to overwrite files on the host system. In order to use this exploit, an attacker must have an existing \"server\" allocated and controlled by Wings. This vulnerability has been resolved in version `v1.11.4` of Wings, and has been back-ported to the 1.7 release series in `v1.7.4`. Anyone running `v1.11.x` should upgrade to `v1.11.4` and anyone running `v1.7.x` should upgrade to `v1.7.4`. There are no known workarounds for this issue.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:H","score":8.2},"cwes":["CWE-59"],"references":["https://github.com/pterodactyl/wings/commit/429ac62dba22997a278bc709df5ac00a5a25d83d","https://github.com/pterodactyl/wings/security/advisories/GHSA-66p8-j459-rq63","https://github.com/pterodactyl/wings/security/advisories/GHSA-p8r3-83r8-jwj5","https://github.com/pterodactyl/wings/commit/429ac62dba22997a278bc709df5ac00a5a25d83d","https://github.com/pterodactyl/wings/security/advisories/GHSA-66p8-j459-rq63"],"products":["pterodactyl:wings"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:37:38.595364862+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-25168","score":0.00956,"percentile":0.61423,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-66p8-j459-rq63","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-66p8-j459-rq63","summary":"Pterodactyl Wings contains UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following resulting in deletion of files and directories on the host system","modified":"2026-02-04T02:29:47.002889Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/pterodactyl/wings","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/pterodactyl/wings","ranges":["<1.7.4"],"fixed":["1.7.4"]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/pterodactyl/wings","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/pterodactyl/wings","ranges":[">=1.11.0 <1.11.4"],"fixed":["1.11.4"]}]},{"id":"GO-2023-1555","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2023-1555","summary":"Pterodactyl Wings contains UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following resulting in deletion of files and directories on the host system in github.com/pterodactyl/wings","modified":"2026-03-03T04:53:20.943632Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/pterodactyl/wings","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/pterodactyl/wings","ranges":["<1.7.4",">=1.11.0 <1.11.4"],"fixed":["1.7.4","1.11.4"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
