Root command execution via Multilang adminbin validation
Published Oct 2, 2026 · Updated Oct 2, 2026
Command injection in the Multilang adminbin of WebPros cPanel and WP Squared on supported unpatched builds allows attackers to run arbitrary commands. The adminbin inadequately validates input before command execution; the vendor has not identified the parameter or call path. The required access level is undisclosed, but successful exploitation runs code as root and exposes all hosted accounts, sites, and databases.
