SECURITY ISSUE INFORMATION

During a routine code audit, an issue was discovered by the cPanel Product Security team. Later the same issue was reported by an external security researcher. Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances, the external researcher disclosed information about the issue on a public website.

While cPanel does not believe the vulnerability is being actively exploited, we felt it to be in our customers best interest to publish an unscheduled security release.

Once sufficient time has passed, allowing cPanel & WHM systems to automatically update to the new versions, cPanel will release additional information about the nature of the security issue.

Additional information is scheduled for release on December 23, 2013.
