Description:
Preth00nker has reported some vulnerabilities in cPanel, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "dir" parameter in dohtaccess.html and to the "file" parameter in editit.html and showfile.html is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
Examples:
http://[host]:2082/frontend/x/htaccess/dohtaccess.html?dir=[code]
http://[host]:2082/frontend/x/files/editit.html?dir=/&file=[code]
http://[host]:2082/frontend/x/files/showfile.html?dir=/&file=[code]
Solution:
Fixed in version 11.1.0 (build 4).
Provided and/or discovered by:
Preth00nker
