High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The modified suexec program in cPanel, when configured for mod_php and compiled for Apache 1.3.31 and earlier without mod_phpsuexec, allows local users to execute untrusted shared scripts and gain privileges, as demonstrated using untainted scripts such as proftpdvhosts or addalink.cgi. This is a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0490.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves privilege escalation by a local user, which can lead to unauthorized access to system resources and compromise server integrity.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update cPanel to a version where the vulnerability is fixed, and to compile Apache with the mod_phpsuexec module to prevent exploitation of this flaw.
