Description:
Preth00nker has reported a vulnerability in cPanel, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "file" parameter in select.html isn't 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.
Example:
http://[host]:2082/frontend/x/files/select.html?dir=/&file=[code]
Solution:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a proxy server or firewall with URL filtering capabilities.
