Critical (9.2) in control web panel control web panel.
On this page
Control Web Panel (CWP) before webpanel_version 1.30.6 contains a host header injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the password-recovery reset URL by injecting the HTTP Host header into the /v1/lostpass/ route's token generation process. Attackers can lure an automated mail-security scanner into visiting the poisoned reset link to exfiltrate the live recovery token, replay it at /login/index.php?acc=newpass to set a new password, and subsequently abuse the File Manager and Crontab modules to achieve command execution as the targeted hosting account.

Explain CVE-2026-124020 for an engineer deciding whether to act. Use https://cve.bz/api/public/cves/CVE-2026-124020?via=ask-ai-copy and https://cve.bz/cve/CVE-2026-124020?via=ask-ai-copy as the source of truth: what is affected and which versions fix it, whether it is in CISA KEV, public exploits, and its EPSS (an internet-wide 30-day estimate of exploitation activity, not a forecast for my systems). If they give no fixed versions, use the CVE record https://cveawg.mitre.org/api/cve/CVE-2026-124020 or the vendor advisory, not third-party mirrors. Tell me how to check whether I am affected and how to verify a fix. Cite the sources and say where they are uncertain.Opens a third-party assistant; its answer is its own, not cve.bz's.
