https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/security/advisories/GHSA-24wv-6c99-f843
Vulnerable versions: 1.9.0 .. 1.11.10
RCE exploitation is limited but can be detected through:
cat /var/www/pterodactyl/storage/logs/laravel-2025-*-*.log | grep 'Illuminate\\\\Translation\\\\FileLoader->load()'
If access logs are disabled as they are with default configuration (without SSL) credential dumping cannot be detected as easily, otherwise you can search for locale=.. in the access logs
