Description

cPanel contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to access arbitrary files. The issue is due to the erredit.html script not properly validating the "dir" and "file" variables. If an attacker requests an arbitrary file under the right configuration, it will be displayed.

Currently, there are no known upgrades, patches, or workarounds available to correct this issue.
