Most shared hosting plans use cpanel.
It's still widely used yes for a lot of smaller websites.

There are a lot of things that have been up for decades. The ROI on moving a simple PHP or static website to new hosting situation hasn’t been that compelling… though that could change. Thing is, I suspect most users of shared hosting which is Cpanel’s bread and butter are not reading the latest cybersecurity news.

CPanel on shared hosting running WordPress PHP is literally half of the entire internet still.

Half of the entire internet is Meta properties.

That’s the other half.
Coincidentally also PHP.

CPanel and hosters who use them are in big trouble now; there are millions of servers running them, many of them for decades. Their clients can run code as an user without much sandboxing/guardrails at all.

Ages ago I used php-nuke to manage my forum and it got hacked and I thought it would get taken seriously
Seeing these CPanel hacks remind me how old these codebases are and how much more vulnerability remain

I don't agree that "old" necessarily implies vulnerability.
