Summary

In cPanel versions prior to 88.0.3, the use of an insecure Sender Rewriting Scheme (SRS) secret on a templated virtual machine poses a security risk. This flaw allows unauthorized access to sensitive information and can potentially lead to exploitation given the insecure handling of SRS in virtual contexts. Users are advised to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
