Vulnerabilities (CVE)

Webmin 2.510 is vulnerable to a Host Header Injection in the password reset functionality (forgot_send.cgi). The reset link sent to users is constructed using the HTTP Host header via get_webmin_email_url(). An attacker can manipulate the Host header to inject a malicious domain into the reset email. If a victim follows the poisoned link, the attacker can intercept the reset token and gain full control of the target account.

An issue was discovered in Webmin <=1.920. The parameter old in password_change.cgi contains a command injection vulnerability.

Improper handling of insufficient permissions or privileges vulnerability exists in ajaxterm module of Webmin prior to 2.003. If this vulnerability is exploited, a console session may be hijacked by an unauthorized user. As a result, data within a system may be referred, a webpage may be altered, or a server may be permanently halted.

Cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in session_login.cgi of Webmin versions prior to 1.970 and Usermin versions prior to 1.820. If this vulnerability is exploited, an arbitrary script may be executed on the web browser of the user who accessed the website using the product. As a result, a webpage may be altered or sensitive information such as a credential may be disclosed.

Cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in ajaxterm module of Webmin versions prior to 2.003. If this vulnerability is exploited, unintended operations may be performed when a user views a malicious page while logged in. As a result, data within a system may be referred, a webpage may be altered, or a server may be permanently halted.

Webmin CGI Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Webmin. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of CGI requests. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. W ... Webmin CGI Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability.

Cross Site Scripting vulnerability (XSS) in webmin v.2.105 and earlier allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted payload to the "Execute cron job as" tab Input field.

Webmin before 1.860 has XSS with resultant remote code execution. Under the 'Others/File Manager' menu, there is a 'Download from remote URL' option to download a file from a remote server. After setting up a malicious server, one can wait for a file download request and then send an XSS payload that will lead to Remote Code Execution, as demonstrated by an OS command in the value attribute of a name='cmd' input element.
