___proxy_subdomain_whm/login

Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

___proxy_subdomain_whm/login

cPanel WebHost Manager (WHM) proxy login path used to reach the server administration panel.

What an attacker could do

WHM controls every hosting account on the server; a compromised login lets an attacker manage all sites, reset passwords, and read or destroy customer data.

How to defend it

Restrict WHM (port 2087) to trusted IPs or a VPN, enforce strong credentials with 2FA, and keep cPanel updated.
