Fixed in: 126.0.59, 130.0.23, 132.0.32, 134.0.26, 136.0.10
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 126.0.0
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy cpanel || rpm -q cpanel || cpanel --version
2. UPGRADE to 126.0.59 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade cpanel
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade cpanel
Note
Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 126.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison cpanel
sudo apt install cpanel=<VERSION_BEFORE_126.0.0>

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list cpanel
sudo dnf downgrade cpanel-<VERSION_BEFORE_126.0.0>
