Froxlor: /etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf is chmod 644 but contains <SQL_UNPRIVILEGED_PASSWORD>

In Froxlor 2.1.9 and in the HEADs of the main, v2.2 and v2.1 branches , the XML templates in lib/configfiles/ set chmod 644 for /etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf, although that file contains <SQL_UNPRIVILEGED_PASSWORD>. At least on Debian 12, all parent directories of /etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf are world readable by default, thus exposing these credentials to all users with access to the system. Only Froxlor instances configured to use pure-ftpd are affected/vulnerable.

Blind XSS Leading to Froxlor Application Compromise

Description: A Stored Blind Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the Failed Login Attempts Logging Feature of the Froxlor Application. Stored Blind XSS occurs when user input is not properly sanitized and is stored on the server, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts that will be executed when other users access the affected page. In this case, an unauthenticated User can inject malicious scripts in the loginname …

Improper Input Validation

Froxlor is open source server administration software. Prior to version 2.1.2, it was possible to submit the registration form with the essential fields, such as the username and password, left intentionally blank. This inadvertent omission allowed for a bypass of the mandatory field requirements (e.g. surname, company name) established by the system. Version 2.1.2 fixes this issue.

Information Exposure

An issue was discovered in Froxlor. The installer wrote configuration parameters including passwords into files in /tmp, setting proper permissions only after writing the sensitive data. A local attacker could have disclosed the information if he read the file at the right time, the flaw exists in _createUserdataConf of the install/lib/class.FroxlorInstall.php file.

Improper Input Validation

An issue was discovered in Froxlor. Remote attackers with access to the installation routine could have executed arbitrary code via the database configuration options that were passed unescaped to exec, the flaw exists in _backupExistingDatabase of the install/lib/class.FroxlorInstall.php file.

Improper Input Validation

An issue was discovered in Froxlor. It created files with static names in /tmp during installation if the installation directory was not writable. This allowed local attackers to cause DoS or disclose information out of the config files, the flaw exists in _createUserdataConf of the install/lib/class.FroxlorInstall.php file.
