# CVE-2026-41940
> **⚠ This tool is created solely for educational or bug bounty purpose only. Unauthorized use outside of controlled environments is strictly prohibited.**
## Description
A tool for exploiting CVE-2026-41940, a critical authentication bypass in cPanel & WHM (CVSS 10.0), allowing unauthenticated attackers to gain root-level WHM access by injecting CRLF sequences into server-side session files via the Authorization header — no credentials required.
## How it works
CVE-2026-41940, in general terms, is exploited through a breakdown in how the system handles authentication sessions in cPanel/WHM. The attack typically begins with a normal request to the login interface, where the application prematurely initializes a session before fully validating user credentials. Because of improper handling of session-related input, certain crafted or unexpected input structures can alter how session data is stored or interpreted by the server.
