CVE-2026-121434: Froxlor Certificates API authorization bypass in Let's Encrypt management

CVE-2026-121434 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.4 · Published 2026-11-03

Froxlor is a hosting control panel that automates SSL certificate management via Let's Encrypt. An API authorization flaw allows customers with API access to overwrite their domain's Let's Encrypt-managed certificates and private keys with attacker-controlled ones. When deployed by the panel's automation, this breaks HTTPS for the domain and disrupts the ACME certificate renewal process.

Technologies: Froxlor. Vendors: Froxlor.

Technical details

The Certificates.add and Certificates.update API commands lack authorization checks to verify whether a domain's certificate is Let's Encrypt-managed, in contrast to read-path fixes applied in 2.3.13. An authenticated API customer can silently replace a server-managed certificate and private key via these endpoints, which are then deployed to the webserver via a REBUILD_VHOST task. The vulnerability affects versions 2.3.0 through 2.3.14; authentication and API access are required.
