Description
Froxlor 2.0.0 through 2.3.10 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting. When a customer (the lowest-privileged authenticated role) uploads an SSL certificate for one of their own domains, the Certificates API add()/update() methods parse it with openssl_x509_parse() and store the issuer organization (issuer['O']) value verbatim without sanitization. Froxlor's table-listing renderer then emits scalar cells through Twig's `raw` filter, disabling HTML auto-escaping, so when an administrator or reseller opens Domains > SSL certificates the attacker-supplied issuer value executes as script in the privileged user's session. This crosses a privilege boundary from customer to admin and can result in full administrator account takeover; because a Froxlor admin controls webserver, DNS, and PHP configuration applied by a cron job running as root, the issue can be further escalated to command execution as root on the managed server. The issue is fixed in Froxlor 2.3.12.
