Technical description

WHMCompleteSolution (WHMCS) before 2.3 assigns incorrect permissions to "resellers", which allows remote authenticated users to perform privileged actions or obtain sensitive information. NOTE: this report is based on a vendor bug report that identified "incorrect permissions." However, the vendor did not label it a security issue, and there was no statement regarding whether or not the permissions were actually more permissive than intended. If in fact the permissions were more restrictive than intended, then this would be a functional problem but not a vulnerability.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from whmcompletesolution. Update whmcompletesolution to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
