Cpanel : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2004

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in cPanel 9.1.0 and possibly earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the dir parameter in dohtaccess.html.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in cPanel 9.1.0-R85 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) email parameter to testfile.html, (2) file parameter to erredit.html, (3) dns parameter to dnslook.html, (4) account parameter to ignorelist.html, (5) account parameter to showlog.html, (6) db parameter to repairdb.html, (7) login parameter to doaddftp.html (8) account parameter to editmsg.htm, or (9) ip parameter to del.html. NOTE: the dnslook.html vector was later reported to exist in cPanel 10.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in cPanel 9.1.0 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) email parameter to dodelautores.html or (2) handle parameter to addhandle.html.

The login page for cPanel 9.1.0, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in the user parameter.

The "Allow cPanel users to reset their password via email" feature in cPanel 9.1.0 build 34 and earlier, including 8.x, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the user parameter to resetpass.

cPanel 9.9.1-RELEASE-3 allows remote authenticated users to chmod arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the _private directory, which is created when Front Page extensions are enabled.

cPanel 9.4.1-RELEASE-64 follows hard links, which allows local users to (1) read arbitrary files via the backup feature or (2) chown arbitrary files via the .htaccess file when Front Page extensions are enabled or disabled.

cPanel, when compiling Apache 1.3.29 and PHP with the mod_phpsuexec option, does not set the --enable-discard-path option, which causes php to use the SCRIPT_FILENAME variable to find and execute a script instead of the PATH_TRANSLATED variable, which allows local users to execute arbitrary PHP code as other users via a URL that references the attacker's script after the user's script, which executes the attacker's script with the user's privileges, a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0529.
