cPanel has put out updates to fix three security issues in cPanel and Web Host Manager (WHM). These issues could allow someone to gain higher access, run code, or cause a service outage.
The list of vulnerabilities is as follows:
CVE-2026-29201 (CVSS score: 4.3): An insufficient input validation of the feature file name in the “feature::LOADFEATUREFILE” adminbin call that could result in an arbitrary file read.
CVE-2026-29202 (CVSS score: 8.8) – An insufficient input validation of the “plugin” parameter in the “create_user API” call that could result in arbitrary Perl code execution on behalf of the already authenticated account’s system user.
CVE-2026-29203 (CVSS score: 8.8) – An unsafe symlink handling vulnerability that allows a user to modify access permissions of an arbitrary file using chmod, resulting in denial-of-service or possible privilege escalation.
The shortcomings have been patched in the following versions:
cPanel and WHM –
11.136.0.9 and higher
11.134.0.25 and higher
11.132.0.31 and higher

cPanel has launched version 110.0.114 as an update for customers using CentOS 6 or CloudLinux 6. Users should update to the latest versions for better safety.
There is no proof that the flaws have been used in real attacks, but this news comes shortly after another flaw in the product (CVE-2026-41940) was turned into a weapon by hackers to spread Mirai botnet types and a ransomware called Sorry.
