Description
Froxlor is open source server administration software. Prior to 2.3.8, the DomainZones.add API command in lib/Froxlor/Api/Commands/DomainZones.php accepts user-controlled record and type values without rejecting line delimiters, tab characters, semicolons, or unsupported DNS record types before lib/Froxlor/Dns/DnsEntry.php serializes the values into a BIND zone file. An authenticated customer with DNS-zone permissions can place a crafted value in the record field, or use the related type-field variant, to create additional resource-record lines that bypass Froxlor's field-level validation. BIND accepts the injected records, allowing modification of DNS data and possible DNS availability impact within a zone the caller is authorized to manage. This issue is fixed in version 2.3.8.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw in the DomainZones.add API parameter handling permits an authenticated customer with DNS‑zone permissions to embed newline, tab, or semicolon characters into the record or type fields. When BIND processes the resulting zone file, the injected characters create additional resource‑record lines, bypassing Froxlor’s input validation. This injection gives the attacker the ability to alter or delete DNS records within any zone the user is authorized to manage, potentially impacting data integrity, confidentiality of DNS information, and availability of services relying on those records.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all releases of the Froxlor open‑source server administration software prior to version 2.3.8. Users running Froxlor 2.3.8 or later are not affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates a moderate severity. EPSS information is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker must be authenticated and possess DNS‑zone management rights, making the attack likely remote but constrained to the scope of the infected zone. If exploited, it could lead to unauthorized DNS record modifications or denial of service to domain owners. The risk is therefore moderate but non‑negligible for organizations that expose exposed DNS zone management to multiple users.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to Froxlor version 2.3.8 or newer to apply the fix for the injected record and type fields.
  • Limit DNS‑zone permissions to a minimal set of trusted administrators and enforce the principle of least privilege.
  • After upgrading, audit all affected zone files for unexpected changes and monitor DNS logs for anomalous entries.
