CVE-2026-90935 — Froxlor before 2.3.7 Authorization Bypass via Mysqls.add API

Froxlor before 2.3.7 fails to validate the mysql_server parameter against a customer's allowed_mysqlserver allowlist in the Mysqls.add API command. Attackers can supply a disallowed server index to create MySQL databases and users on forbidden servers, bypassing per-customer access controls.

Remediation

The vendor's own words where we have them.

Upgrade froxlor to a fixed release (2.3.7). Apply vendor patches per advisory and restrict external exposure of the affected component until patched.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.

  • Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
  • Prioritize based on EPSS, PoC availability, and external exposure.
  • Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

What this weakness leads to

MITRE's own consequences and mitigations for the weakness class — the authority's wording, not guidance derived from the CVSS vector.

MITRE

CWE-285 · Improper Authorization

  • Read Application Data
  • Read Files or Directories
  • Modify Application Data
  • Modify Files or Directories

Mitigation: Divide the software into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries. Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-90935 is Froxlor before 2.3.7 Authorization Bypass via Mysqls.add API, a medium vulnerability affecting froxlor from froxlor. The current evidence does not list it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Active exploitation is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-90935. Public exploit evidence is: 1 public PoC repositories reported; 0 marked weaponized in current dataset. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 4.3 describes technical severity, while EPSS 0% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
