CVE-2006-2825: cPanel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.1. EPSS: 1.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

cPanel does not automatically synchronize the PHP open_basedir configuration directive between the main server and virtual hosts that share physical directories, which might allow a local user to bypass open_basedir restrictions and access other virtual hosts via a PHP script that uses a main server URL (such as ~username) that is blocked by the user's own open_basedir directive, but not the main server's open_basedir directive.
