CVE-2026-100715

CriticalCVSS 9.6
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Froxlor through 2.3.10 is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion via symlink following in the FTP data deletion cron task. Cron task 8 (deleteFtpData), queued when an FTP account is deleted, calls FileDir::makeCorrectDir() without the $fixed_homedir argument, so the symlink component walk is skipped, and then executes 'rm -rf' as root on the resulting path with string-level guards only. Because makeCorrectDir() appends a trailing slash, GNU rm dereferences a symlink used either as an intermediate or final path component. An authenticated customer who can write to the FTP home directory can plant a symlink between task insertion and cron execution, causing the root cron job to recursively delete arbitrary directory trees.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can cause deletion of arbitrary directories, leading to cross-tenant data destruction and host denial of service. The risk is critical for shared environments.

Recommendation

Update Froxlor to version 2.3.12 or later. Until patched, restrict write access to customer FTP directories.
