Emerging Threat: (CVE-2026-41940) cPanel & WHM Authentication Bypass via CRLF Injection
CVE-2026-41940 is a pre-authentication remote authentication bypass in cPanel and WHM caused by a CRLF (Carriage Return Line Feed) injection in the login and session handling logic. An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject raw \r\n characters into a malicious basic authorization header, which cpsrvd then writes into a session file without sanitization.
