Impact

An eval injection flaw in cPanel’s Park API allows a remote, authenticated user to execute arbitrary code as the root user. The vulnerability is caused by unsanitized input being evaluated as code, leading to full system compromise for the offending account. This flaw represents a high‑severity remote code execution vector.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects WebPros cPanel installations version 11.138.0.0 and earlier. Any system running these versions exposes the API endpoint to authenticated users who can exploit the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 8.7, the flaw is considered high severity. The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack path requires a valid authenticated session to the Park API; once accessed, the attacker can run arbitrary commands with root privileges, providing full control over the host.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update cPanel to the latest patched version that removes the eval injection flaw
  • Restrict access to the Park API endpoint or disable it if not required by configuration
  • Apply the principle of least privilege by limiting API user permissions to only what is necessary
