Attackers Weaponize GitHub Actions Runners to Target cPanel and WHM Servers

Researchers discovered a large-scale campaign weaponizing compromised GitHub repositories and Actions runners as attack infrastructure against cPanel and WebHost Manager instances. The campaign involved malicious Packagist development versions across 10 packages associated with a legitimate PHP and DevOps developer between July 12 and 13.

Why it matters: Hosting providers and developers using cPanel, WHM, or Packagist dependencies face direct exploitation risk from this active supply-chain attack; practitioners should review GitHub Actions configurations and audit Packagist package versions deployed in production.
