DescriptionCVE.org

Improper neutralization of special elements in Plesk allows remote authenticated users to disclose arbitrary local files and escalate privileges.

AnalysisAI

Authenticated remote attackers against WebPros Plesk (versions before 18.0.79.8, and 18.0.80 through 18.0.80.3) can inject special elements into the DNS zone management functionality to read arbitrary files on the server and escalate their privileges. Because the CVSS scope is changed (S:C), a low-privileged panel user can break out of their intended boundary to compromise the underlying host with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. …
