cPanel Remote Account Deletion
The vulnerability in cPanel allows a remote authenticated administrator to delete customer account DNS information for customers not under their administration. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on vulnerable websites. The attack can be carried out by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable URL: http://www.example.com:2086/scripts/killacct?domain=(domain)&user=(user)&submit-domain=Terminate
Mitigation:
Apply the latest security patches provided by cPanel. Limit administrative privileges and ensure that administrators can only manage the customer accounts under their jurisdiction. Regularly monitor and review DNS information for any unauthorized changes. Implement intrusion detection and prevention systems to detect and block suspicious activities.
