Vulnerabilidad crítica en cPanel: Hackers explotan activamente un fallo que afecta a millones de sitios web
Un grave fallo de seguridad en el software de gestión de servidores cPanel y WHM está siendo utilizado activamente por atacantes. La vulnerabilidad permite a los hackers eludir la autenticación y tomar el control total de los servidores afectados (Fuente y Más información: Cpanel.net).
El sector del alojamiento web se encuentra en estado de emergencia tras la revelación de un fallo crítico en cPanel y WebHost Manager (WHM), registrado con la clave CVE-2026-41940. Según las investigaciones publicadas por TechCrunch y diversas firmas de seguridad, la vulnerabilidad reside en el flujo de inicio de sesión gestionado por el demonio del servicio (cpsrvd), el cual escribe un archivo de sesión en el disco antes de que ocurra la autenticación real. Esto es aprovechado por los atacantes como una vulnerabilidad de omisión de autenticación no autorizada (unauthenticated bypass).
Debido a la enorme cuota de mercado de cPanel y WHM en la industria, este fallo pone en riesgo a decenas de miles de servidores y a los millones de sitios web que alojan. Según las agencias de ciberseguridad, es altamente probable que se sigan produciendo ataques. Además, empresas de alojamiento como Namecheap y KnownHost detectaron intentos de acceso no autorizados, lo que indica que el error ha estado siendo explotado «en la naturaleza» (in the wild) durante semanas antes de que se lanzara el parche de emergencia.
La respuesta de la industria ha sido inmediata. Proveedores y administradores han estado aplicando de urgencia los parches proporcionados por cPanel a través de la secuencia de comandos de actualización del servidor. La recomendación de los expertos es verificar que la infraestructura de alojamiento web esté actualizada a las últimas versiones y comunicarse inmediatamente con los proveedores de hosting para asegurar la mitigación de esta brecha que amenaza la integridad de los datos en internet.
Y lo más importante es NO descartar las actualizaciones de cualquier sistema!!!
