CRITICAL 9.9
CVE-2026-113678 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.9) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
Froxlor before 2.3.15 contains a symlink following vulnerability in Statistics::makeChownWithNewStats that allows authenticated customers to take ownership of arbitrary host directories by abusing the root-run traffic cron. Attackers can replace the goaccess statistics directory in their document root with a symlink, causing chown -R to hand root-owned trees to them and enabling root escalation.
Why this priority
- Critical severity
- CISA SSVC: public proof of concept
A fixed release or distro patch exists.
