What this means under a SharedLicense license
Your SharedLicense license itself is not affected — this is a change in CloudLinux 7, CloudLinux 9 software, not in licensing. Update the product through its standard update channel. Licenses keep working through updates; nothing needs re-issuing or re-activating.
A vulnerability in CloudLinux LVE Manager allowed environment variable injection via the $HTTP_HOST header, potentially leading to unauthorized access to protected resources.
