Daily Cyber News: Shared hosting gaps can expose neighboring accounts and servers
Shared-hosting customers can lose data isolation when one tenant is able to reach another tenant’s resources. cPanel has patched several flaws with different consequences. An authenticated account could potentially run code as root, read calendar and contact data belonging to other users, or modify databases owned by other accounts.

Key context: cPanel released corrected builds, while the separately packaged WP Toolkit needs to be upgraded to version 6.11.3 or later.
