    Due to a critical vulnerability identified by cPanel's developers, we have received guidance to disable access to certain cPanel features. To protect your website and account, we have temporarily disabled access to cPanel and WebHostManager (WHM) administrative interfaces, webmail, and webdisk. Your website will remain accessible.
