APP: cPanel Resetpass Remote Command Execution
This signature detects attempts to remotely execute a command on a cPanel system. There is a feature which allows users to reset their passwords by email; when this feature is enabled, it allows users to execute commands as root.
Extended Description
A potential remote command execution vulnerability has been discovered in the cPanel Application. This issue occurs due to insufficient sanitization of externally supplied data to the script that handles resetting user passwords. An attacker may exploit this problem by crafting a malicious URI request for the affected script; the attacker may then supply shell metacharacters and arbitrary commands as a value for the affected variable.
