Froxlor's API Authentication bypasses 2FA Authentication
## Summary Froxlor's API authentication (`FroxlorRPC::validateAuth`) does not enforce Two-Factor Authentication. When a user (admin or customer) enables 2FA on their account, the web UI correctly requires a TOTP code after password verification. However, the API accepts requests authenticated with only an API key and secret โ no TOTP challenge is i...
