Description
CVE-2026-113678 is a critical symlink following vulnerability in Froxlor versions before 2.3.15. Authenticated users can exploit this flaw by creating a symbolic link in the statistics directory, causing the root-run traffic cron job to change ownership of arbitrary host directories to the attacker. This enables privilege escalation to root on the affected system.
