Title: CPanel Admin Interface HTML Injection Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
cPanel is a multi-platform web hosting control panel that allows a user to manage their hosted account through a web-based interface. It is available for Unix and Linux variants.
cPanel is prone to an HTML injection vulnerability. It is possible for remote attacks to include hostile HTML and script code in requests to cPanel, which will be logged. When logs are viewed by an administrative user, the injected code could be rendered in their browser in the context of the site hosting cPanel. HTML may be injected into the 'Error Log' and 'Latest Visitors' pages. This is due to insufficient sanitization of HTML and script code when logging client requests.
Exploitation of this issue could permit theft of administrative cookie-based authentication credentials. The attacker will also be able to exert control over how affected pages are rendered, which could permit log spoofing or other attacks.
