Technical details
The vulnerability is an information disclosure flaw in the Froxlor API command classes (Customers.php, Admins.php, and Ftps.php) that fail to filter sensitive fields before returning API responses. The affected endpoints execute database queries that retrieve entire rows (SELECT *) and return results directly via $this->response(...) without stripping credential material. Exposed fields include password hashes (Bcrypt-hashed passwords) for customers, administrators, and FTP users, as well as Base32-encoded TOTP 2FA seeds (data_2fa field) for administrator and customer accounts. Authentication is required to call these endpoints (API key and secret), but the vulnerability allows any authenticated API user to retrieve credentials for all visible accounts. An attacker can perform offline password hash cracking and/or use exposed TOTP seeds to generate valid six-digit codes for second-factor bypass. The patch (version 2.3.8) removes or redacts these sensitive fields before returning responses.
