Vulnerability Disclosure · 4 sources · Updated 3mo ago · First seen Jul 30, 2026

WebPros disclosed CVE-2026-58046, a blind SQL injection flaw in the Plesk XML-RPC API that affects all Plesk versions earlier than 18.0.79.4. The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user with low privileges, including customer- or reseller-level access, to query the Plesk database and read arbitrary contents. Plesk warned that exposed data can include administrator credentials, creating a path to full server compromise.
The issue is classified as CWE-89 and carries a CVSS v3.1 vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, reflecting high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Plesk has patched the flaw in 18.0.79.4 and urged administrators to update immediately; for systems that cannot be upgraded at once, the vendor recommended mitigations in panel.ini to enforce strict API protocol version validation or to restrict XML API access to trusted IP addresses only. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security also issued advisory AV26-761, directing organizations to apply the vendor guidance.
