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.

LiteSpeed Enterprise Flaw Could Let One Hosting Account Gain Root Access on a Shared Server

cPanel warns critical LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise flaw (pre-6.3.7) lets shared-hosting account users gain root access.

A cPanel advisory published September 14 warns that a critical vulnerability in LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise versions before 6.3.7 lets a low-privilege website user gain root access on shared-hosting servers, bypassing CageFS account isolation. LiteSpeed released version 6.3.7 on September 11, but auto-update may be delayed so admins should force the update manually. No CVE identifier, severity score, workaround, or exploitation information has been published. This is the third LiteSpeed root flaw since May, following CVE-2026-48172 and CVE-2026-54420 in the cPanel plugin, which were both actively exploited and added to CISA's KEV catalog.

Plesk Backup Manager Flaw Lets Low-Privileged Users Gain Root Access to Servers

CVE-2026-68488 in Plesk Backup Manager lets low-privileged subscription users exploit a symlink race during restores to gain root on Linux servers.

CVE-2026-68488 is a symlink race condition in Plesk Obsidian for Linux Backup Manager during subscription-content restore operations, allowing a user with Panel and FTP access to change ownership of files outside their subscription and escalate to full root access. Affected versions are Plesk for Linux 18.0.80.6 and earlier and 18.0.79.10 and earlier; Plesk for Windows is not affected. Patches are available in 18.0.80.7 and 18.0.79.11 or later. The flaw requires valid subscription access, so it is not unauthenticated remote code execution, but successful exploitation yields complete server compromise, especially dangerous in shared-hosting and multi-tenant deployments.
