==========================================================================
CVE-2026-41940 Defensive Report
==========================================================================

CVE-2026-41940 is a cPanel session-handling vulnerability disclosed on April 28 2026.
See the cPanel advisory at:
https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/40073787579671

LMD's defensive companion runs once per host on first install or upgrade, checks for a
narrow set of indicators that follow known exploitation, and acts on any matches it finds.
This report summarizes that run.

Host:       $(hostname)
  Scan time:  $scan_start_hr (${scan_et}s)
  Scan ID:    $scanid
  Actions:    $tot_hits

Action log:
$(awk -F' : ' '{printf "    %s\n      %s\n", $1, $2}' "$scan_session")

The matches above should be investigated further but do not by themselves constitute a
full compromise assessment. The companion checks a fixed list of file and process
indicators and does not inspect cPanel session files, secondary persistence, user or
reseller data, or credentials. For broader triage, two follow-up tools are recommended:

1. cPanel's official session-file IOC sweep. Download ioc_checksessions_files.sh from
     the advisory KB article above and run it as root.

2. rfxn's sessionscribe scanner:
       curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfxn/cpanel-sessionscribe/main/sessionscribe-ioc-scan.sh | bash
     (source: https://github.com/rfxn/cpanel-sessionscribe)

This was a one-time remediation attempt on this host. The companion will not run again
here, even after future LMD installs or upgrades. To undo anything listed in the action
log:

Restore a quarantined file:  maldet --restore <basename>.<rnd>
  Unsuspend sptadm reseller:   whmapi1 unsuspendreseller user=sptadm
