The containment/symlink validation performed by FileDir::makeCorrectDir()/makeCorrectFile() is done only at check time; the live filesystem path is re-resolved as root at write time (file_put_contents with FILE_APPEND|LOCK_EX, followed by chmod/chown/chgrp), with a database round-trip and file reads in between, and no path or file-descriptor pinning (no O_NOFOLLOW or openat2(RESOLVE_NO_SYMLINKS)). On installations where the non-default setting system.allow_customer_shell=1 grants customers local shell access, a customer can atomically swap their ~/.ssh directory for a symlink after the check and before the write, causing the root-run cron to append the customer's public key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys and to chown /root/.ssh to the customer, resulting in full root compromise of the panel host. The cron re-runs on every interval, allowing unlimited attempts. This is a residual race that bypasses the check-time fix introduced for GHSA-mq5v-... . The issue is fixed in Froxlor 2.3.12."}],"problemTypes":[{"descriptions":[{"lang":"en","description":"Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition","cweId":"CWE-367","type":"CWE"}]}],"affected":[{"vendor":"froxlor","product":"froxlor","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","versionType":"semver","lessThan":"2.3.12"},{"version":"2.3.12","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:a:froxlor:froxlor:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionEndExcluding":"2.3.12"}]}]}],"metrics":[{"cvssV4_0":{"Automatable":"NOT_DEFINED","Recovery":"NOT_DEFINED","Safety":"NOT_DEFINED","attackComplexity":"LOW","attackRequirements":"NONE","attackVector":"NETWORK","baseScore":7.1,"baseSeverity":"HIGH","exploitMaturity":"NOT_DEFINED","privilegesRequired":"LOW","providerUrgency":"NOT_DEFINED","subAvailabilityImpact":"NONE","subConfidentialityImpact":"NONE","subIntegrityImpact":"NONE","userInteraction":"NONE","valueDensity":"NOT_DEFINED","vectorString":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0","vulnAvailabilityImpact":"NONE","vulnConfidentialityImpact":"HIGH","vulnIntegrityImpact":"NONE","vulnerabilityResponseEffort":"NOT_DEFINED"},"format":"CVSS"},{"cvssV3_1":{"attackComplexity":"HIGH","attackVector":"LOCAL","availabilityImpact":"HIGH","baseScore":7.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH","confidentialityImpact":"HIGH","integrityImpact":"HIGH","privilegesRequired":"LOW","scope":"CHANGED","userInteraction":"NONE","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"format":"CVSS"}],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/froxlor/froxlor/security/advisories/GHSA-927x-9jfh-mq42","tags":["vendor-advisory"],"name":"GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-927x-9jfh-mq42)"},{"name":"VulnCheck Advisory: Froxlor before 2.3.12 Privilege Escalation via SSH Key Sync","tags":["third-party-advisory"],"url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/froxlor-before-2.3.12-privilege-escalation-via-ssh-key-sync"}],"credits":[{"lang":"en","value":"skeletonsec","type":"reporter"}],"x_generator":{"engine":"vulncheck-endgame"}},"adp":[{"metrics":[{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"timestamp":"2026-09-26T23:10:07.764073Z","id":"CVE-2026-100713","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"total"}],"role":"CISA Coordinator","version":"2.0.3"}}}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2026-09-26T23:10:14.884Z"}}]}}
