1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires authenticated access to Froxlor with the role of a reseller (PR:L from CVSS vector indicates authenticated but non-administrative user). The critical precondition is that the calling reseller must NOT have the customers_see_all permission-if this permission is present, the application's conditional logic presumably applies proper validation. Exploitation is possible immediately upon API/web interface access; no special configuration, network conditions, or user interaction is required. Conversely, exploitation is limited to reseller-level accounts with domain creation rights; administrative accounts with full permissions are not vulnerable. The vulnerability does NOT require enabling additional features or non-default configurations-the flawed Domains.add() method is part of the standard installation.

Impact

This vulnerability presents moderate but actionable risk despite its CVSS 5.4 score. The attack vector is network-based with low complexity and requires only low-level authentication (authenticated reseller access), making it accessible to a broad class of users with legitimate system access. However, the impact is limited to integrity and availability concerns-the attacker cannot directly exfiltrate data (C:N) but can disrupt resource management and exhaust other administrators' quotas. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U) accurately reflects the true threat: any authenticated reseller can immediately exploit this without user interaction or privilege escalation. The vulnerability is particularly concerning in multi-tenant hosting environments where reseller abuse of administrative quotas could trigger cascading denial-of-service effects against co-hosted administrators. No EPSS score or active exploitation data was provided; however, the simplicity of exploitation (no special preconditions beyond authenticated reseller status) suggests this should be treated as high-priority in environments with untrusted or semi-trusted resellers. The patch is confirmed available, reducing long-term risk for timely deployers.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated reseller with legitimate access to Froxlor's API logs in and calls the Domains.add() function. Instead of specifying their own adminid, they supply the adminid of a competing administrator. The application accepts this input without validation because the reseller lacks the customers_see_all permission, and the new domain is attributed to the target admin. The reseller repeats this process multiple times, rapidly exhausting the target administrator's domain quota while keeping their own quota counter low, effectively blocking the target admin from creating legitimate domains.

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 23, 2026

Froxlor versions prior to 2.3.6 allow authenticated resellers to bypass domain quota restrictions by attributing newly created domains to arbitrary admins through unvalidated adminid parameter input in the Domains.add() function. This vulnerability enables quota exhaustion attacks against other administrators and domain creation beyond the attacker's assigned limits, with confirmed patch availability in version 2.3.6.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Froxlor 2.3.6. Administrators should immediately upgrade from any version prior to 2.3.6. The patch is available at https://github.com/froxlor/froxlor/releases/tag/2.3.6 with upstream fix confirmed in commit bf47ba15329506e9f9662f9462463932aa80dff5. No workarounds are documented for unpatched versions; upgrading is the primary mitigation. Organizations unable to patch immediately should implement compensating controls by restricting reseller account creation and auditing the Domains.add() logs for suspicious adminid parameter assignments that do not match the calling reseller's account ID. Additionally, periodically review domain quota assignments across administrators to detect manual quota manipulation. However, these controls are detective rather than preventive and do not eliminate the vulnerability; patching should be prioritized.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability exists in Froxlor's domain administration API, specifically the Domains.add() method, which accepts an adminid parameter from user-supplied input without validating whether the calling reseller has permission to assign domains to that admin. The root cause is an improper access control flaw (CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization) that fails to enforce the customers_see_all permission check before accepting the adminid parameter. When a reseller without the customers_see_all permission creates a domain, the application should restrict domain assignment to their own admin account; instead, it allows them to specify any adminid value, causing the domain quota counter (domains_used) for the specified admin to be incremented rather than the attacker's own counter. This permits attackers to circumvent their domain quota limits and manipulate quota tracking for other administrators in the system.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Froxlor is open source server administration software. Prior to version 2.3.6, in Domains.add(), the adminid parameter is accepted from user input and used without validation when the calling reseller does not have the customers_see_all permission. This allows a reseller to attribute newly created domains to any other admin, bypassing their own domain quota (since the wrong admin's domains_used counter is incremented) and potentially exhausting another admin's quota. Version 2.3.6 fixes the issue.
