9.9 CRITICAL

Network-reachable, low-complexity SQLi needs only a low-privilege mail account (PR:L); escalation to root escapes the account's privilege boundary (S:C) with full C/I/A loss.

A vulnerability in cPanel allows a mail-enabled account to achieve remote code execution as root through SQLi in EmailTrack component

AnalysisAI

Root-level remote code execution in WebPros cPanel is achievable by any mail-enabled account through a SQL injection flaw in the EmailTrack component. An authenticated low-privilege mailbox user can chain the injection into command execution as root, giving full server takeover; the vendor has shipped fixes across five maintenance branches and a HackerOne-sourced report confirms the issue, though no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated mail-enabled cPanel account (CVSS PR:L) that can reach the EmailTrack functionality over the network; no user interaction and no administrative privileges are needed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.0 vector CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H yields 9.9, driven by network reach, low complexity, only low privileges (a mail account is trivial to obtain on a hosting server), no user interaction, scope change, and total confidentiality/integrity/availability loss - a genuine top-priority issue given cPanel's role as a multi-tenant hosting platform. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
