Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in cPanel 11.40.1.13/11.42.1.15 (Hosting Control Software). Affected is an unknown code block of the component Transfer CGI Scripts. The manipulation 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.

The weakness was presented 05/26/2014 with cPanel as TSR-2014-2004 / Case 93269 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared for download at cpanel.net. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1068. The advisory points out:

The WHM ‘Copy an Account From Another Server With an Account Password’ functionality will first attempt to use XML-API calls to generate and download a backup of the remote account. Should this call fail, a fallback method using FTP and HTTP will be attempted. Under some circumstances, the CGI scripts utilized by this fallback method would remain installed on the account after the transfer was complete, potentially allowing remote attackers to download a copy of the transferred account.

Upgrading to version 11.40.1.14 or 11.42.1.16 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
