CVE-2025-43920
GNU Mailman 2.1.39, as bundled in cPanel (and WHM), in certain external archiver configurations, allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via shell metacharacters in an email Subject line. NOTE: multiple third parties report that they are unable to reproduce this, regardless of whether cPanel or WHM is used.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.59%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 46
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access85 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution80 %
AV:N sin PR/UI permite explotación remota sin autenticación (T1190). CWE-78 + inyección en Subject confirma ejecución de comandos OS (T1059). AC:H reduce confianza levemente.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
