Upgrade froxlor/froxlor to version 2.3.7 or higher.
Overview
froxlor/froxlor is a server administration software.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Symlink Attack via the SshKeys::generateFiles process. An attacker can gain unauthorized root-level SSH access by creating a symbolic link from the customer-controlled ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys and submitting a public key through the panel, which is then appended to the root's authorized keys file by a privileged cron job. This is only exploitable if the attacker controls a customer-owned home directory, has shell access enabled, can submit SSH keys, and the privileged cron runs as root.
