HTTP: cPanel Multiple Module Cross-Site Scripting
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known cross-site scripting vulnerability in cPanel. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. Attackers can steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Extended Description
Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities have been identified in cPanel that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary HTML or script code in a user's browser. These issues exist due to a failure of the application to properly validate user-supplied URI input. The issues are reported to affect the 'account', 'db', 'login', 'email', 'dir', 'dns' and 'ip' parameters of 'ignorelist.html', 'showlog.html', 'repairdb.html', 'doaddftp.html', 'editmsg.html', 'testfile.html', 'erredit.html', 'dnslook.html', 'del.html' and 'index.html' scripts. The issues have been reported to affect version 9.1.0-R85 of the software, it is quite likely however that these issues affect previous versions of the software as well.
