CVE-2026-73696
Control Web Panel (CWP) < 1.12 Execution After Redirect in CWPUserIndex
Control Web Panel (CWP) before webpanel_version 1.12 contains an execution after redirect vulnerability in the user panel authentication flow (CWPUserIndex) that allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication by exploiting a missing exit() call after a header('Location: ...') redirect. Attackers can send unauthenticated requests to continue PHP execution past the redirect, reaching user panel functionality that should require authentication.

Control Web Panel (CWP) before webpanel_version 1.12 contains an execution after redirect vulnerability in the user panel authentication flow, where CWPUserIndex's unauthenticatedFlow() calls toLoginWithIntendedUri() which emits a redirect header without exit(), allowing PHP execution to continue and the module dispatcher include to run without authentication. Attackers with nothing more than a valid hosting username can bypass authentication to reach user-panel module code paths, enabling a pre-authentication chain to root access.
