Technical details

A stored XSS vulnerability exists in the WHM Mass Modify Accounts interface that fails to sanitize user input before storing it in a database. An authenticated attacker with WHM access can inject arbitrary JavaScript code through account modification fields, which is then executed in the browsers of other administrators who view the affected accounts. This requires initial authentication to WHM but allows escalation to arbitrary code execution within the admin panel.
