Froxlor vs Sanity: at a glance
What is Froxlor?
Froxlor 2.3.17 fixes nginx serving PHP source as plain text
Froxlor is an open-source server administration panel. Security release 2.3.17 lists more than a dozen fixes: nginx served PHP files as plain text in folders with directory options, directory protection missed PHP and subfolders, symlinks in customer paths were not fully resolved, and several admin pages lacked permission checks. Customer data exports now stage outside the customer's web root. It follows 2.3.14 to 2.3.16, which mixed security fixes with PHP 8.5 compatibility.
What is Sanity?
Sanity's MCP server now explains failed validations and stops skipping them.
Sanity made Context Knowledge Bases generally available on November 10, letting agents read datasets, websites and files over MCP. The days since have been follow-up: MCP server 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 return stable error codes, explain incomplete validations and stop writes from skipping schema checks, while the console now shows when each robot token was last used. Media Library made PDF previews zoomable and folder counts in big libraries about seven times faster.

Froxlor 2.3.17 fixes nginx serving PHP source as plain text
◆ Current state
Froxlor is an open-source server administration panel. Security release 2.3.17 lists more than a dozen fixes: nginx served PHP files as plain text in folders with directory options, directory protection missed PHP and subfolders, symlinks in customer paths were not fully resolved, and several admin pages lacked permission checks. Customer data exports now stage outside the customer's web root. It follows 2.3.14 to 2.3.16, which mixed security fixes with PHP 8.5 compatibility.
◆ Where it's heading
Froxlor's releases are now dominated by security audit findings, and the notes are detailed. The fixes cluster around nginx config generation and per-customer permission scoping, the parts of a hosting panel where one tenant can reach another.
◆ Prediction
More point releases from the same audit are likely, especially on nginx and permission checks; no feature release is signalled.
Sanity
6.3DEVOPS
Sanity's MCP server now explains failed validations and stops skipping them.
◆ Current state
Sanity made Context Knowledge Bases generally available on November 10, letting agents read datasets, websites and files over MCP. The days since have been follow-up: MCP server 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 return stable error codes, explain incomplete validations and stop writes from skipping schema checks, while the console now shows when each robot token was last used. Media Library made PDF previews zoomable and folder counts in big libraries about seven times faster.
◆ Where it's heading
Sanity is making the agent-facing parts dependable: the MCP server is getting the error codes and validation rules a production client needs. Access visibility for tokens and members follows the same push to let teams audit what automated clients do.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP server point releases around validation and Knowledge Base commands, and more usage data on tokens and agents in the console.
