HTTP Smuggling in cPanel allows potential leak of credentials.
AnalysisAI
HTTP request smuggling in cPanel and WP Squared (by WebPros) enables leakage of credentials from other users sharing the same hosting infrastructure. The CVSS 4.0 vector confirms network-reachable exploitation with no authentication required but with passive user interaction and attack-specific prerequisites; critically, the subsequent-system impact is rated High for both confidentiality and integrity (SC:H/SI:H), indicating that successful exploitation crosses trust boundaries to affect other users or backend components beyond the attacker's own session. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attack requires that the cPanel deployment uses a front-end proxy (e.g., a load balancer or reverse proxy) in front of the cPanel backend application server, with both components speaking HTTP/1.1 and disagreeing on request boundary parsing (the AT:P prerequisite). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS 4.0 score of 5.6 (Medium) somewhat undersells the potential real-world impact in multi-tenant deployments. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker on the internet sends a specially crafted HTTP request with ambiguous Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers to a shared cPanel hosting server; the front-end proxy and back-end application parse the boundary differently, causing the attacker's payload to be prepended to the next request submitted by a different tenant user. When that victim user authenticates or submits a form containing credentials, those credentials are captured within the attacker's smuggled response or request context. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to cPanel version 138 or later, as documented in the official changelog at https://docs.cpanel.net/changelogs/138-change-log; this is the vendor-confirmed fix referenced in the security advisory at https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/42285024734743-Security-CVE-2026-58047-HTTP-Request-Smuggling. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
