CVE-2026-100717 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-100717: froxlor is a server administration panel. In versions 2.3.10 and earlier, Validate::validateUrl rejects carriage return and line feed characters only in the path, query and fragment components returned by parse_url, and never inspects the userinfo (user:pass@) components. This is an incomplete fix for GHSA-c3p2. An authenticated low-privilege customer with subdomain-create rights (no admin or change_serversettings privilege required) can supply a subdomain redirect URL that carries a CR/LF payload in the userinfo portion (e.g. http://user%0areturn 200 "pwned";%0a@evil.com/). The value passes validation, survives IDNA encoding, and is written verbatim into the generated nginx or Apache vhost configuration, allowing the attacker to break out of the emitted directive and inject arbitrary web-server configuration lines. froxlor regenerates and reloads the web-server configuration as root, so the injected directives take effect server-wide and can hijack responses or read local files. The issue is fixed in version 2.3.12.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-100717

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-100717 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-100717

CVE-2026-100717 presents an accessible attack vector with minimal effort required. Restricting access controls and implementing security updates are critical to reducing exploitation risks.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-100717, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2026-100717, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

  • Confidentiality: Low
    CVE-2026-100717 could lead to minor leaks of non-critical information without major privacy breaches.
  • Integrity: High
    CVE-2026-100717 could allow unauthorized modifications to data, potentially affecting system reliability and trust.
  • Availability: High
    CVE-2026-100717 can disrupt system operations, potentially causing complete denial of service (DoS).

CWE Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-93

CAPEC Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification

  • Command Delimiters CAPEC-15 An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities that allows an attacker's commands to be concatenated onto a legitimate command with the intent of targeting other resources such as the file system or database. The system that uses a filter or denylist input validation, as opposed to allowlist validation is vulnerable to an attacker who predicts delimiters (or combinations of delimiters) not present in the filter or denylist. As with other injection attacks, the attacker uses the command delimiter payload as an entry point to tunnel through the application and activate additional attacks through SQL queries, shell commands, network scanning, and so on.
  • Web Server Logs Tampering CAPEC-81 Web Logs Tampering attacks involve an attacker injecting, deleting or otherwise tampering with the contents of web logs typically for the purposes of masking other malicious behavior. Additionally, writing malicious data to log files may target jobs, filters, reports, and other agents that process the logs in an asynchronous attack pattern. This pattern of attack is similar to "Log Injection-Tampering-Forging" except that in this case, the attack is targeting the logs of the web server and not the application.
