Froxlor is a

free and open-source web hosting control panel[2][3][4] which originated from the SysCP project.[5] It is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2.0.[6]

History

On February 1, 2010, the Froxlor 0.9 was released, and it was a fork of the SysCP project. It introduced multiple bug fixes and was seen as an intermediate step between SysCP and the Froxlor 1.0 release.[5]

In 2015, it was revealed that versions prior to 0.9.33.1 contained a database

security vulnerability which was fixed in the next version.[7] This vulnerability allowed attackers to remotely read database passwords from the publicly accessed folder /logs/sql-error.log. MySQL errors, which were logged in this folder, contained database logins and passwords, although the passwords were visible only up to 15 characters.[8]

On April 10, 2019, version 0.10.0 was released. The main change was the introduction of the API backend.[9]

On January 8, 2023, version 2.0 was released. The

command line tool.[10]

On December 8, 2023, version 2.1 was released. New features include the ability to duplicate domains (use settings from the existing domain for the new domain), deactivate single domains and ftp-accounts, and generate one-time login-links for customers via CLI or API.[11]
