Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-87899 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WebPros 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-2026-87899/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-87899/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-87899","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-87899/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-87899","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9m4j-95hw-qv52"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"cPanel web hosting control panel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can execute arbitrary code with root privileges due to unnecessary privilege execution in cPanel.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.4,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-250","name":"Execution with Unnecessary Privileges"}],"description":"Execution with unnecessary privileges in cPanel allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in cPanel","id":"CVE-2026-87899","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in WP Toolkit for cPanel","id":"CVE-2026-87900"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in Plesk extension \"Site Import\"","id":"CVE-2026-87898"},"products":["cPanel"],"published":"2026-09-23","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-24","vendors":["WebPros"]},"summary":"Remote authenticated users can execute arbitrary code with root privileges due to unnecessary privilege execution in cPanel.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-87899/"}
