Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in cPanel 11.40.1.13/11.42.1.15/11.43.0.11 (Hosting Control Software). Affected is an unknown code of the file safetybits.pl 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, integrity, and availability.

The weakness was shared 05/26/2014 by Rack911 as TSR-2014-2004 / Case 96697 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is available at cpanel.net. Local access is required to approach this attack. A authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. This vulnerability is assigned to T1068 by the MITRE ATT&CK project. The advisory points out:

Obsolete versions of several functions provided by the Cpanel::SafetyBits module were duplicated inside the safetybits.pl script and used in several command line scripts provided with cPanel & WHM. The obsolete versions of these functions allowed a local attacker to change the permissions on arbitrary files under some circumstances.

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.
