Summary
Control Web Panel (CWP), a web hosting control panel, is affected by a path traversal flaw that allows attackers to include arbitrary local PHP files on the server. The impact is local PHP file inclusion, which could let an attacker read sensitive files or execute code available on the affected system.
Read the original description
Control Web Panel (CWP) before webpanel_version 1.16 contains a path traversal vulnerability in services/users/index.php that allows attackers to include arbitrary local PHP files by supplying an unsanitized module name parameter concatenated directly into an include path. Attackers can inject directory traversal sequences into the module name to achieve local file inclusion and execute arbitrary PHP code in the user panel context.
What to do
Check whether your setup matches what the bug needs.
Control Web Panel before version 1.16 The user panel on port 2083 is reachableUpgrade to a fixed version: 1.16.

Questions about CVE-2026-73695
Is CVE-2026-73695 being exploited?
It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
What does this mean?
A directory traversal in the module name lets a request include local files, which can execute arbitrary PHP code in the user panel context.Source: vulncheck.com, vulncheck.com
Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-73695?
Control Web Panel: before 1.16.Source: cve.now feed data
Am I affected, and how do I check?
Control Web Panel versions before 1.16 are affected when the user panel on port 2083 is reachable. To check, look at the installed CWP version and whether port 2083 is reachable from the networks in question.Source: vulncheck.com, vulncheck.com
How do I fix CVE-2026-73695?
Upgrade Control Web Panel to version 1.16 or later. The facts do not list a workaround.Source: vulncheck.com, vulncheck.com
