cPanel CVE-2026-67401 Grants Root Execution via EmailTrack SQL Injection from Mail-Privileged Accounts

cPanel patched CVE-2026-67401 after an SQL injection in EmailTrack allowed mail-privileged accounts to reach root. Evidence from prior flaws and CISA listings shows repeated root-escalation paths from single accounts remain exploitable. Servers that skip prompt updates face full server compromise and lateral movement to customer environments.

Operators should force an immediate update via /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/upcp --force and audit recent EmailTrack activity logs. Watch for new CVE publication and any CISA addition within the next 14 days; absence of both does not confirm safety.

⚡ Prediction

SENTINEL: First public exploit or honeypot hit for CVE-2026-67401 will surface within 21 days of September 8.
