Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in cPanel 11.40.1.13/11.42.1.15/11.43.0.11 (Hosting Control Software). Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code block of the component DNS Clustering Commands. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a privileges management vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is 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. As an impact it is known to affect integrity.

The weakness was published 05/26/2014 by Rack911 as TSR-2014-2004 / Case 97289 as confirmed advisory (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at cpanel.net. The attack can be launched remotely. The requirement for exploitation is a single authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1068 according to MITRE ATT&CK. The advisory points out:

The DNS clustering commands allow for DNS zones to be synced across a cluster. When a zone is owned by a local user, these commands restrict modification of the zone to the reseller account that owns the zone and reseller accounts with the “All” ACL. This functionality was subject to several flaws that allowed an authenticated attacker with the “Clustering” ACL to modify zones belonging to other resellers on the system.

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.
