I am not sure that is the case from the research I have been doing on
this topic.  For example there are reports of it being detected on
lighttpd, nginx and systems that do not use cpanel:

If anyone has a better rundown of this it would be great if you could
point me in the right direction.  I am having problems finding a
proper examination/explanation of this backdoor.
