Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2006-6523 exists.\n\nAffected product: Cpanel Cpanel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6523/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6523/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-6523","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6523/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-6523","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-55pj-wqw7-9gpq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"cPanel BoxTrapper","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML into the BoxTrapper mail interface via the account parameter, requiring user interaction.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"cpanel","vendor":"cpanel"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in mail/manage.html in BoxTrapper in cPanel 11 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the account parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2006-12-08","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2006-12-08","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"29237","stars":null,"title":"cPanel 11 BoxTrapper - Manage.HTML Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6523","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cpanel:cpanel","products":["cpanel:cpanel"],"type":"xss","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6524"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6522"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-12-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"WebPros cPanel \u0026 WHM and WP2 (WordPress Squared) Missing Authentication for Critical Function","id":"CVE-2026-41940","kev_date_added":"2026-04-30","published":"2026-04-29"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"guestbook.cgi in cPanel 5.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the template parameter.","id":"CVE-2003-1425","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1769","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-03-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1770","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-03-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-26098","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-26100","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-26101","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-25"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML into the BoxTrapper mail interface via the account parameter, requiring user interaction.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6523/"}
