    Default Access Denied - XML API

    How fix this?

    Functions in cPanel / WHM are available only directly through the cPanel and WHM interfaces or through our XML API. It appears that this request is coming from a referring site and might be malicious.

    I can't login to WHM so how can i fix this?

    cPanel/Enkompass Access Level

    Root Administrator

    Default

    If this is a concern, I recommend going to Tweak Settings and under "Security" selecting the following setting:

    Only permit cpanel/whm/webmail to execute functions that have a referrer that matches one of the domains/ip on this server. This will help prevent XSRF attacks, but may break integration with other systems, login applications, and billing software.
