SharedLicense lisansı altında bunun anlamı
Your SharedLicense license itself is not affected — this is a vulnerability in cPanel software, not in licensing. Licenses continue to work during and after the update; there is no need to re-issue or re-activate anything. If you resell cPanel under your own brand, patch client servers too — unpatched installs put your reputation at risk, not your license.
Situation
Through a combination of incorrect dropping of privileges and insufficient path filtering, it was possible to read arbitrary files via certain cpdavd endpoints. This affects cPanel & WHM versions 120 and higher.
We would like to thank Shubham Shah, Adam Kues, and Patrik Grobshäuser from Assetnote for identifying and responsibly reporting this vulnerability to us.
