Admin account takeover via stored XSS
Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026
Stored XSS in the DNS editor in Froxlor before 2.3.8 allows remote authenticated users to run JavaScript in an administrator session. TXT record content accepted by lib/Froxlor/Api/Commands/DomainZones.php can retain HTML metacharacters, Text::wordwrap returns that data without escaping, and templates/Froxlor/table/table.html.twig renders the callback result through a raw Twig branch. Exploitation requires customer-level DNS editor access and an administrator visit to the affected domain's DNS view, after which script execution can steal the admin session or issue privileged panel actions.
