Technical details

This vulnerability is classified as an argument injection (CWE-88) within the WordPress Toolkit component of cPanel & WHM. The flaw stems from improper neutralization of argument delimiters, which allows a remote authenticated user with low privileges to inject additional parameters into CLI commands. By exploiting this, an attacker can bypass cross-tenant isolation mechanisms and execute arbitrary 'wp-toolkit' commands with the permissions of a different account. This can lead to a complete compromise of other WordPress installations on the same server. The issue is resolved in WordPress Toolkit version 6.11.0.

Affected products

  • cPanel WordPress Toolkit before 6.11.0
