Summary

Authenticated RCE for webmail virtual accounts

Security Rating

cPanel has assigned this vulnerability a CVSSv3.1 score of 5.3 CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L

Description

It is possible to craft a string that gets past the regex check performed via the deprecated Email::addforward API1 call. Subsequent calls to api1/api2/uapi calls to remove forwarders will remove the escape () characters in the string. This can turn the forwarder added with the string into a valid forwarder that allows for an RCE to the user’s cPanel account.

Summary

HTTP request smuggling vulnerability in cpsrvd

Security Rating

cPanel has assigned this vulnerability a CVSSv3.1 score of 3.7 CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N.

Description

‘cpanel::cpsrvd::read_socket_headers’ is susceptible to a race condition on keep-alive requests from unprotected documents where the original request headers contain a ‘Content-Length’ header. This can occur when the original request contains a smuggled request that causes the readline to hang while reading the socket due to waiting on the condition provided by $/ to be met. If a second keep-alive request comes in during this time, the entire keep-alive request can be appended to the smuggled request as part of its headers, thus causing the smuggled request to be processed when it should not have been.
