CVE-2024-58383
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Froxlor before 2.2.0 (affected up to and including 2.2.0-rc3) generates /etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf with mode 0644 via the XML configuration templates in lib/configfiles/, even though the file contains the Froxlor SQL user's password. On systems where the parent directories are world readable (the default on Debian 12), any unprivileged local user able to execute commands or code on the host — including virtual users without SSH access who can upload PHP/CGI scripts — can read the file and obtain the Froxlor database credentials. Database access can then be leveraged to alter an administrator's password hash and TOTP seed, log in as a Froxlor administrator, and ultimately gain root privileges. Only instances configured to use pure-ftpd are affected.

"value": "Froxlor antes de la versión 2.2.0 (afectado hasta la versión 2.2.0-rc3 incluida) genera /etc/pure-ftpd/db/mysql.conf con modo 0644 mediante las plantillas de configuración XML en lib/configfiles/, aunque el archivo contiene la contraseña del usuario SQL de Froxlor. En sistemas donde los directorios padre son legibles por todos (el valor predeterminado en Debian 12), cualquier usuario local sin privilegios que pueda ejecutar comandos o código en el host - incluidos los usuarios virtuales sin acceso SSH que pueden subir scripts PHP/CGI - puede leer el archivo y obtener las credenciales de la base de datos de Froxlor. El acceso a la base de datos puede entonces aprovecharse para alterar el hash de la contraseña de un administrador y la semilla TOTP, iniciar sesión como administrador de Froxlor y, en última instancia, obtener privilegios de root. Sólo las instancias configuradas para usar pure?ftpd se ven afectadas."
