CVE-2024-9193Known exploitationNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via unrestricted PHP inclusion

Published Feb 28, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Local file inclusion in creativeON WHMpress 6.3-revision-0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute uploaded PHP files. The whmpress_domain_search_ajax_extended_results() function uses an attacker-controlled filename in a PHP inclusion operation without restricting the selected path. No authentication is required, but code execution requires attacker-controlled content on the server; the services.php chain can enable administrator registration.
