cPanel/WHM administrators, hosting providers, and any team operating EasyApache 4-based stacks that rely on libxml2.

Technical summary

The only vendor-confirmed detail in the supplied source is that EasyApache 4 25.6 ships updated packages and includes a security update for libxml2 to address CVE-2025-24928. No CVSS score, exploit details, or impact description are provided in the source corpus. Because the fix is delivered through a vendor package update, the key defensive step is to verify that affected cPanel/WHM hosts have received the EasyApache 4 25.6 package set or later.
