CISA has added CVE-2026-41940, a missing authentication vulnerability affecting WebPros cPanel, WHM, and WP2, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog based on evidence of active exploitation. The flaw allows malicious actors to access critical functions without authentication, posing a significant risk to affected enterprises.
cPanel and WHM are vulnerable to a critical authentication bypass (CVE-2026-41940) that allows unauthenticated attackers to gain root-level access. The flaw stems from a CRLF injection vulnerability in session file handling, enabling attackers to forge session attributes and bypass password validation mechanisms by manipulating the whostmgrsession cookie and Basic Authentication headers.
