Improper preservation of SQL mode when renaming databases in cPanel allows execution of SQL in root context.

HTTP Smuggling in cPanel allows potential leak of credentials.

Cpanel::JSON::XS versions before 4.41 for Perl allow type confusion via duplicate object keys when dupkeys_as_arrayref is enabled. decode_hv() collapses duplicate object keys into an array reference under dupkeys_as_arrayref. The branch reached for a duplicate key tests `SvTYPE (old_value) != SVt_RV && SvTYPE (SvRV (old_value)) != SVt_PVAV`, which evaluates SvRV(old_value) before establishing that old_value is a reference. When the existing value is a plain scalar rather than an array reference, a non-reference scalar is dereferenced as a reference. A caller decoding untrusted JSON with dupkeys_as_arrayref enabled is crashed, and the incompatible access follows a pointer taken from attacker controlled scalar contents.

Cpanel::JSON::XS versions before 4.41 for Perl allow denial of service via UTF-8 BOM prefixed input when a decode filter callback throws. To skip a leading 3-byte UTF-8 BOM, decode_json() advances the input scalar's string pointer past the mark with SvPV_set() and restores it only on the normal return path. When decoding aborts through a Perl exception, for example a filter_json_object callback that croaks, the restore is skipped and the scalar is left with its string pointer offset into its own buffer and a shortened length. When that scalar is later freed, the allocator receives an invalid pointer and the interpreter aborts. A single BOM prefixed document decoded with a throwing filter callback crashes any caller.

Improper authorization checks of team members privileges allow a team member to escalate privileges to the team owner account.

Improper sanitization of the `status` query parameter of the `/unprotected/nova_error` endpoint allows unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary HTTP header to the response.

Incorrect privileges management and insufficient path filtering allow to read arbitrary file on the server via the cpdavd attachment download endpoints.

Insufficient sanitization of SQL queries in the `sqloptimizer` utility script allows SQL Injections on behalf of the root user if Slow Query logging is enabled.

SSL verification is disabled in the DNS Cluster system. This could allow for a malicious server to man-in-the-middle the request and capture credentials.

A chmod call in the cPanel Nova plugin's Cpanel::Nova::Connector follows symlinks, allowing setting root permissions on arbitrary system files or directories. That can cause DoS or local privilege escalation when an authenticated cPanel user places a symlink at a user-controlled legacy Nova path under their home directory.
