9.0
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
webmin versions prior to 1.990
Description
The issue is related to improper access control in the webmin repository, which can lead to remote code execution. This is due to weaknesses in the authorization mechanism of the File Manager module in the webmin web interface for UNIX-like operating systems. An attacker can exploit this issue to elevate privileges or execute arbitrary code by running the chmod command or uploading files with .cgi permissions.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.990, update to version 1.990 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the File Manager module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the File Manager module until the issue is resolved.
