cPanel LiteSpeed Web Server Vulnerability Allows Shared Server Users to Gain Root-Level Access

Critical LiteSpeed Enterprise flaw fixed in 6.3.7 lets low-privilege shared-hosting users escalate to root and bypass CageFS.

cPanel issued an urgent advisory for a critical privilege escalation in LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise versions before 6.3.7, allowing a low-privilege shared-hosting account to gain root-level server control and bypass tenant isolation controls including CloudLinux CageFS. Root access would let attackers access other hosted sites, steal databases and credentials, deploy phishing pages, and install backdoors. Administrators are urged to upgrade to 6.3.7 immediately via lsup.sh and to review privileged account activity, cron jobs, SSH keys, and system binaries; no CVE identifier was published.

Telegram Desktop Flaw Lets Attackers Steal Chat Messages Through Poisoned HTML Exports

Telegram Desktop XSS in bot inline keyboard buttons let attackers steal chat content from exported HTML archives; patched in 7.0.1.

ExPatch researchers Denis and Aleksander Rostilov found a stored cross-site scripting flaw in Telegram Desktop's HTML export feature, present since version 4.15.1 (March 2024). JavaScript hidden in bot inline keyboard button text executes when a user opens an exported chat HTML file with JavaScript enabled, exposing messages, metadata, and enabling DOM manipulation such as fake verification screens. Fixes shipped in Desktop Beta 6.9.4 (July 3, 2026) and Stable 7.0.1 (July 14, 2026), but previously exported HTML files remain unsafe.
