# CVE-2026-62988: Froxlor: Credential and 2FA secret disclosure via Froxlor API endpoints

**Signal:** Critical, preconditions apply. Severe if exploited, but exploitation needs conditions that may not apply to you. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Not in CISA KEV , but CISA’s SSVC assessment records a public proof-of-concept, so attack code exists.
- EPSS 0.6% , percentile 49: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.6% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 49% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs an account (high (admin)). Exposure depends on who can log in.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes froxlor/froxlor (Composer (PHP)) < 2.3.8, fixed in 2.3.8 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

Froxlor is open source server administration software. From 2.3.7 until 2.3.8, the Customers.get, Customers.listing, Admins.get, Admins.listing, Ftps.get, and Ftps.listing API commands in lib/Froxlor/Api/Commands/Customers.php, lib/Froxlor/Api/Commands/Admins.php, and lib/Froxlor/Api/Commands/Ftps.php retrieve full database rows and return them without removing password and data2fa fields. An authenticated API caller with permission to use these endpoints can obtain customer, administrator, and FTP password hashes as well as Base32-encoded TOTP seeds for administrator and customer accounts. Password hashes can be cracked offline, and TOTP seeds can generate valid second-factor codes until two-factor authentication is reset. Exposure of both values for an account can enable takeover of the hosting panel or hosted resources and can defeat both authentication factors. This issue is fixed in version 2.3.8.

## Affected packages

- Composer (PHP) `froxlor/froxlor` < 2.3.8 → fixed: 2.3.8

## Affected products (CVE record)

- froxlor froxlor: < 2.3.8

## Severity

- GitHub_M CVSS 3.1: 9 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.0 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation poc , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 0.63% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 49.
