New cPanel Vulnerability Allows Attacker to Gain Full Control of the Server

cPanel disclosed critical SQL injection CVE-2026-67401 in EmailTrack, letting authenticated users with mail privileges gain root code execution; patched builds available.

cPanel disclosed CVE-2026-67401 on September 8, 2026, a critical SQL injection in the EmailTrack feature that monitors email delivery and routing. An authenticated attacker holding a valid cPanel account with mail-related privileges can create arbitrary files and achieve code execution as root, enabling full compromise of hosting servers and exposure of co-tenant customers. All supported cPanel/WHM versions before specific patched builds (11.110.0.143, 11.134.0.55, 11.136.0.39, 11.138.0.4 and 11.138.1.9 WP2) are affected; upgrading is the primary mitigation. No exploitation was reported at disclosure.

Acronis cPanel Backup Plugin Vulnerability Exploited in Targeted Attacks

Acronis warns CVE-2026-87886, a local privilege escalation flaw in its cPanel/WHM and Plesk backup plugins, is exploited in targeted attacks.

Acronis disclosed CVE-2026-87886 (CVSS 7.8), a high-severity local privilege escalation caused by insecure file permissions in its Backup plugin for cPanel & WHM and Backup extension for Plesk on Linux. Affected versions include cPanel & WHM plugin builds before 1.9.3.1021 (fixed in 1.9.3 HF3) and Plesk extension builds before 1.8.11.638. A low-privileged attacker could escalate permissions and potentially run arbitrary code, impacting confidentiality and integrity of the application. Acronis says exploitation has been detected in the wild in limited, targeted attacks, but has not identified the attackers, timing, or objectives.

cPanel ConfigServer Security & Firewall Vulnerability Allows Remote Attacker to Execute Arbitrary Commands

CSF 14.00–16.29 (CVE-2026-65638) lets unauthenticated attackers execute arbitrary commands via the MESSENGER service on cPanel/WHM servers; version 16.30 fixes it.

CVE-2026-65638 affects ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) versions 14.00 through 16.29 and allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through the MESSENGER service, running under the unprivileged CSF service account rather than root. Exploitation requires the non-default MESSENGER service to be enabled and a reCAPTCHA secret configured, reducing exposure for standard deployments. CSF 16.30 and later fix the flaw; administrators who cannot update immediately can set MESSENGER = 0 in /etc/csf/csf.conf as a temporary mitigation.

cPanel EmailTrack SQL Injection Flaw Lets Attackers Execute Code as Root

cPanel disclosed CVE-2026-67401, an authenticated SQL injection in EmailTrack that lets attackers write files and execute code as root.

cPanel disclosed CVE-2026-67401 on September 8, 2026: a SQL injection in the EmailTrack feature that allows authenticated account holders with mail-related permissions to create arbitrary files and execute code with root privileges. Fixes shipped in v11.110.0.143, v11.134.0.55, v11.136.0.39, v11.138.0.4, and WP2 channel v11.138.1.9, with all supported versions before those releases affected. Root-level execution poses severe risk to shared hosting providers and multi-tenant servers, as it removes isolation between cPanel accounts, websites, mailboxes, and backups. Researchers Ali Mustafa (rz1027) and abed1526 responsibly reported the flaw.
