TITLE:
cPanel Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA30027

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/30027/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
cPanel 11.x
http://secunia.com/product/14577/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in cPanel, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
attacks.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to the application allowing users
to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any
validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g.
create a new database, add a new mysql user, add a new ftp user, or
add a cron entry.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 11.18.3 build ID 21703.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being
logged on to the administrative interface.

The vendor has introduced "Tweak Settings" in build ID 23868, which
helps mitigate the vulnerabilities, but might break some
functionality.
