Synopsis

Webmin < 1.950 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Webmin install hosted on the remote host is prior to 1.950. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

- An Improper Data Validation Vulnerability affecting the Command Shell Endpoint.

- A Cross-Site Scripting affecting the save function of the 'Read User Email' module / mailboxes endpoint when attempting to save HTML emails.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
