cPanel Zero Day Exploit - Network wide protections in place for cPanel and WHM logins/ports

IMPORTANT – Please read immediately

cPanel announced that a zero-day authentication/privilege escalation bug that affects almost all known (both EoL and supported) cPanel versions was discovered a short while ago and successful exploits have been seen in the wild.

At this time, a limited scope of information is available about the bug and the cPanel team is actively working on a patch. Cpanel’s official article can be found at https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us...rability-with-cPanel-WHM-Login-Authentication

Due to the potential nature of this issue and out of an abundance of caution, we’ve begun blocking WHM/cPanel login ports across the Froggy Hosting network (including ports 2082, 2083, 2086, and 2087). The blocks cannot be removed/modified per server/customer and will be removed once suitable patches have been released or cPanel has more information available.

We realize that this type of immediate change affects customer access, but want to ensure that all servers remain safe while cPanel investigates further as necessary.
