SCA: security update for froxlor/froxlor (GHSA-33mp-8p67-xj7c)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438197

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 2.3.4, a typo in Froxlor's input
 validation code (== instead of =) completely disables email format checking for all settings fields
 declared as email type. This allows an authenticated admin to store arbitrary strings in the
 panel.adminmail setting. This value is later concatenated into a shell command executed as root by a cron
 job, where the pipe character | is explicitly whitelisted. The result is full root-level Remote Code
 Execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.4. (CVE-2026-26279)
