9.1 CVE-2026-73696 Published 2 Nov 2026
Control Web Panel Authentication Bypass via Execution After Redirect
Worried this affects your website?
Control Web Panel (CWP) versions before webpanel_version 1.12 contain an execution after redirect vulnerability in the user panel authentication flow (CWPUserIndex).
An unauthenticated attacker can bypass authentication by exploiting a missing exit() call after a header('Location: ...') redirect. Because PHP execution continues past the redirect, unauthenticated requests can proceed.
This allows attackers to reach functionality that should require authentication.
