Security Update 2025-06-03

On 3rd June 2025 we have released updates for all actively supported and  long-term support (LTS) versions of WHMCS, namely v8.13, v8.12, and  v8.11. These updates resolve a number of security vulnerabilities that  have been identified as affecting all currently supported versions of  WHMCS.

The majority of these vulnerabilities were discovered through routine internal security audits, while others were reported through our Security Bounty Program. Therefore we do not believe they are actively in use.

No updates will be issued for versions prior to v8.11.

What should you do next?

You should update WHMCS, either manually or using the Automatic  Updater, as soon as possible. We recommend using the Automatic Updater  and upgrading to the Latest Stable Version (8.13.1).

In order to safeguard users who have not yet updated to the latest version, we are deliberately limiting the disclosure of specific technical details at this time.

Are there other mitigation options?

The update resolves a number of diverse issues, this means there are not alternative mitigation options to  address them all.  We recommend applying the update as soon as possible.

Are older versions affected?

Older End-Of-Life versions may contain these vulnerabilities.  We recommend using the Automatic Updater  and upgrading to the Latest Stable Version (8.13.1).

No updates will be issued for versions prior to v8.11 in line with our Long Term Support policy.
