AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from an incorrect permission assignment that allows a local user to fetch sensitive CalDAV and CardDAV data belonging to other accounts. This flaw effectively elevates the privileges of the local user, granting unauthorized read access to private user data stored in those protocols.

Affected Systems

The affected product is WebPros cPanel. No specific version information is provided in the data; any deployment of the product that includes CalDAV/CardDAV support may be susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The high severity CVSS score of 8.2 indicates significant impact if exploited. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is local; the flaw requires that an attacker already has a local user account or has executed code with local privileges to read the incorrectly protected files. Once accessed, the attacker can read other users’ calendar and address book information, potentially using that data for further compromise.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the cPanel security update that corrects the incorrect permission assignment for CalDAV/CardDAV access as recommended by the vendor.
  • Restrict local user accounts to only the files and directories they require, ensuring that CalDAV/CardDAV data for other accounts remains inaccessible.
  • If an immediate update is unavailable, block CalDAV/CardDAV service endpoints for non‑admin users at the firewall or via access control lists until the patch is deployed.
