DescriptionCVE.org

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.

AnalysisAI

Two-Factor Authentication is fully bypassed in Froxlor's API layer (versions prior to 2.3.7), allowing any holder of a valid API key and secret to invoke all API operations - including management of domains, DNS records, SSL certificates, email, FTP, and databases - without supplying the configured TOTP code. The web UI enforces 2FA correctly via FroxlorTwoFactorAuth::verifyCode(), but the API authentication function FroxlorRPC::validateAuth in lib/Froxlor/Api/FroxlorRPC.php checks only key validity, expiration, API permission, and account status, with zero references to 2FA logic across the entire lib/Froxlor/Api/ directory. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Three concrete conditions must be met simultaneously: (1) The Froxlor API must be enabled - `api.enabled=1` is a non-default configuration requiring explicit administrator action in the panel settings; (2) The targeted account (admin or customer) must have 2FA enabled (`type_2fa != 0`) - accounts without 2FA configured are not additionally at risk from this specific bypass since 2FA is the only bypassed control; (3) The attacker must hold a valid, unexpired API key and secret for the targeted account - these are cryptographically strong random values (SHA-256 and SHA-512 of 64×64 and 64×64×4 bytes of random data respectively) and are not guessable by brute force, so they must be obtained through a separate compromise vector such as a database breach, exposed backup, secrets manager misconfiguration, or insider access. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N scores 8.1 and accurately represents the threat model: the attack is network-accessible with no complexity or user interaction, but requires low-privilege credentials (a valid API key+secret, hence PR:L) that must be separately obtained. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade Froxlor to version 2.3.7 or later, available at https://github.com/froxlor/froxlor/releases/tag/2.3.7 and via Composer. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, immediately audit Froxlor API access logs for suspicious activity patterns, rotate any potentially compromised API keys, and restrict API access to only necessary IP addresses. …
