SCA: security update for froxlor/froxlor (GHSA-f9rx-7wf7-jr36)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442597

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Froxlor is open source server administration software. Prior to 2.3.7, the API authentication path in
lib/Froxlor/Api/FroxlorRPC.php and FroxlorRPC::validateAuth accepts an API key and secret for an
administrator or customer account without checking type_2fa, validating a TOTP code, or invoking
FroxlorTwoFactorAuth. The web interface requires a second factor for accounts with two-factor
authentication enabled, but the API grants access after validating only the API credentials, expiration,
API permission, and account status. An attacker who obtains an API key and secret for a protected account
can call the available API functions without supplying the configured second factor, which can expose or
modify customer data, domains, email and FTP accounts, databases, DNS records, and certificate material.
This issue is fixed in version 2.3.7. (CVE-2026-52793)

Solution

Update the froxlor/froxlor library and its related packages to version 2.3.7 or later.
