A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in cPanel up to 9.1.0 R85 (Hosting Control Software). This affects an unknown code block. The manipulation of the argument PATH_TRANSLATED
with an unknown input leads to a privileges management vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-269. The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
cPanel, when compiling Apache 1.3.29 and PHP with the mod_phpsuexec option, does not set the --enable-discard-path option, which causes php to use the SCRIPT_FILENAME variable to find and execute a script instead of the PATH_TRANSLATED variable, which allows local users to execute arbitrary PHP code as other users via a URL that references the attacker s script after the user s script, which executes the attacker s script with the user s privileges, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0529.
