🚨 If you're running Wings for Pterodactyl Panel, it’s time to pay attention! This vulnerability can turn your server into an open book for an attacker with access. 🔥 Think of it like a restaurant with a busy kitchen. If the chef accidentally leaves the back door open, anyone inside can wander into the pantry and snack on the ingredients meant for the special of the day. An attacker with a server already allocated can access files and directories beyond their designated space — they could read sensitive information or manipulate system files, creating an absolute nightmare for administrators! The full extent of potential damage remains uncertain, but this could lead to unauthorized access at the heart of your system.

This vulnerability allows attackers to read files outside of the designated sandbox root for the Wings server control plane. It requires existing access to a server managed by Wings, enabling unauthorized file retrieval.
