cPanel CVE-2026-110676
CVE-2026-110676 is one of a coordinated set of fixes in Cpanel::JSON::XS for Perl: versions before 4.80 — allow memory exhaustion by encoding exponent notation as full decimal digits under allow_bignum. The corrected build is Cpanel::JSON::XS 4.80, delivered to cPanel & WHM servers through the standard update channel.
Was das unter einer SharedLicense-Lizenz bedeutet
Parsing untrusted JSON with the affected Cpanel::JSON::XS builds is the exposure: CWE-405 in the advisory's own data, CVSS 7.5 — practical risk ranges from resource exhaustion to memory corruption.
Cpanel::JSON::XS versions before 4.80 for Perl allow memory exhaustion by encoding exponent notation as full decimal digits under allow_bignum.
With allow_bignum, a JSON number with a fraction or exponent decodes to a Math::BigFloat, which stores the exponent separately and so decodes cheaply. Encoding it untyped or as JSON_TYPE_FLOAT writes the plain decimal form with one digit per unit of exponent. Nothing bounds the exponent, so the 12-byte text [1e30000000] encodes to 30 MB.
Untrusted JSON decoded with allow_bignum and encoded again can exhaust memory and CPU.
