Actually this exploit is quite easy to contain.

Reading through this thread ....

It is truly amazing how many actual morons there are online and what
scares me even more is that some of these incompetent idiots are
actually trying to run hosting services with absolutely no grasp of the
necessity for or even the slightest basic understanding of security.

As for the rest of you, you will be glad to know that Cpanel finally released
the update fixing several different exploits including the 2 different
File Manager and WysiWygPro security issues that have been the topic of this
thread as well as a great number of other outstanding bugs with Cpanel.

Newest Release: 10.8.2-E3

It would probably be advisable for all Cpanel hosts to update if you
have not done so already.
