# CVE-2026-121434: Froxlor 2.3.0 before 2.3.15 Authorization Bypass via Certificates.update API

Status: published. Published: 2026-11-03. Updated: 2026-11-03.

Froxlor 2.3.0 before 2.3.15 contains a missing authorization check in the Certificates.add and Certificates.update API commands, which do not verify whether a domain's certificate is Let's Encrypt-managed. Customers with API access can overwrite the managed certificate and private key with an attacker-chosen pair, which a REBUILD_VHOST task deploys to the webserver, breaking HTTPS and desynchronizing ACME automation.
