Ages ago I used php-nuke to manage my forum and it got hacked and I thought it would get taken seriously
Seeing these CPanel hacks remind me how old these codebases are and how much more vulnerability remain
Php-nuke was the hacking testing ground. Nuke was atrocious for exploitation.
I don't agree that "old" necessarily implies vulnerability.
Cpanel is Perl, not PHP. Probably the grayest of the gray beards. Perhaps not enough Perl Wizards left to maintain it nowadays.
