Authenticated arbitrary file deletion
Published Mar 17, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Arbitrary file deletion in cPanel before 84.0.20 allows remote authenticated users with webmail or demo accounts to delete files. The public record does not identify the affected endpoint, parameter, or file-handling operation that accepts an arbitrary path. Access to a webmail or demo account is required, and successful exploitation removes attacker-selected files with resulting integrity and service-availability impact.
