CVE-2026-29201Network attack vector

Arbitrary file read via relative path traversal

Published May 8, 2026 · Updated May 8, 2026

Relative path traversal in WebPros cPanel and WP Squared allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files on the hosting server. The feature::LOADFEATUREFILE adminbin call accepts a relative feature-file path without constraining resolution and makes the selected file world-readable. An authenticated cPanel account can consequently expose files outside the intended feature directory without user interaction.
