Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in cPanel 11.40.1.13/11.42.1.15/11.43.0.11 (Hosting Control Software). It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown functionality of the file fixsuexeccgiscripts of the component Permission Handler. 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 released 05/26/2014 by Rack911 as TSR-2014-2004 / Case 96301 as confirmed advisory (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at cpanel.net. Attacking locally is a requirement. The successful exploitation needs a authentication. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1068 according to MITRE ATT&CK. The advisory points out:

The fixsuexeccgiscripts script run during the nightly UPCP process on cPanel & WHM systems scanned Apache’s suexec_log for indications of misconfigured CGI scripts. Scripts that generated errors were automatically set to 0755 permissions. The functionality that changed permissions on defective scripts performed insufficient validation of the targets, allowing a local attacker to set any file on the system to 0755 permissions.

Upgrading to version 11.40.1.14, 11.42.1.16 or 11.43.0.12 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
