Webmin accepts basic authentication without session cookies when an attacker provides the 'User-Agent: webmin' header, allowing bypass of additional MFA requirements. Fixed in 2.640.
The Webmin HTTP server (miniserv.pl) allows unauthenticated attackers to impersonate any user with a configured SSL client certificate by sending a forged HTTP header. A remote attacker can spoof certificate DNs and authenticate as any user. Fixed in 2.202.
Webmin allows unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of any file ending in .conf within module directories, due to a bypassable regex pattern.
An issue was discovered in Webmin <=1.920. The parameter old in passwordchange.cgi contains a command injection vulnerability.
Webmin is a web-based system administration tool for Unix-like servers. Prior to version 2.640, for Webmin accounts that require a second authentication factor (typically TOTP), an attacker with knowledge of the username and password can bypass the 2FA requirement by using Basic authentication. Webmin is a web-based system administration tool for Unix-like servers. As a workaround, apply the patch from commit da18a16c84ae5c0b78cad79609cb0efb174000ec manually.
Webmin before 2.641 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the email template description field of the System and Server Status module that allows low-privileged authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser context of administrators by injecting unsanitized input stored in savetmpl.cgi and rendered unescaped in listtmpls.cgi.
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the File Manager function of Webmin v2.100 allows attackers to execute malicious scripts via injecting a crafted payload into the Replace in Results file.
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the File Manager function of Webmin v2.100 allows attackers to execute malicious scripts via injecting a crafted payload into the Find in Results file.
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Usermin Configuration function of Webmin v2.100 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web sripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the Custom field.
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Webmin v2.100 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the cloned module name parameter.
An issue was discovered in Webmin 2.100. The File Manager functionality allows an attacker to exploit a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. By providing a malicious payload, an attacker can inject arbitrary code, which is then executed within the context of the victim's browser when any file is searched/replaced.
A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Webmin 2.001. Affected is an unknown function of the file xterm/index.cgi. The manipulation leads to basic cross site scripting. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. Upgrading to version 2.003 is able to address this issue. The patch is identified as d3d33af3c0c3fd3a889c84e287a038b7a457d811. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. VDB-212862 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.
An issue was discovered in Webmin 1.840 and 1.880 when the default Yes setting of "Can view any file as a log file" is enabled. As a result of weak default configuration settings, limited users have full access rights to the underlying Unix system files, allowing the user to read sensitive data from the local system (using Local File Include) such as the '/etc/shadow' file via a "GET /syslog/savelog.cgi?view=1&file=/etc/shadow" request.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in view.cgi in Webmin before 1.680 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the search parameter.
miniserv.pl in (1) Webmin before 1.070 and (2) Usermin before 1.000 does not properly handle metacharacters such as line feeds and carriage returns (CRLF) in Base-64 encoded strings during Basic authentication, which allows remote attackers to spoof a session ID and gain root privileges.
The RPC module in Webmin 0.21 through 0.99, when installed without root or admin privileges, allows remote attackers to read and write to arbitrary files and execute arbitrary commands via remoteforeignrequire and remoteforeigncall requests.
The Printer Administration module for Webmin 0.990 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the printer name.
Webmin 0.21 through 1.0 uses the same built-in SSL key for all installations, which allows remote attackers to eavesdrop or highjack the SSL session.
Webmin before 0.5 does not restrict the number of invalid passwords that are entered for a valid username, which could allow remote attackers to gain privileges via brute force password cracking.
Webmin before 2.640 allows mailboxes/detach.cgi XSS via an SVG document attachment that is viewed in the mailboxes component, because image/svg+xml is used instead of a safe type (e.g., text/plain).
Webmin before 2.640 does not safely construct a filename for saving of an attachment within the mailboxes component. This occurs in mailboxes/detachall.cgi.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Webmin before 1.690 and Usermin before 1.600 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to popup windows.
squid/cachemgr.cgi in Webmin before 2.600 does not properly quote arguments. This is relevant if Webmin's Squid module and its Cache Manager feature are available, and an untrusted party is able to authenticate to Webmin and has certain Cache Manager permissions (the "cms" security option).
Webmin 2.510 is vulnerable to a Host Header Injection in the password reset functionality (forgotsend.cgi). The reset link sent to users is constructed using the HTTP Host header via getwebminemailurl(). 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.
A discrepancy in error messages for invalid login attempts in Webmin Usermin v2.100 allows attackers to enumerate valid user accounts.
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 sessionlogin.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.
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.
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.
