Description

According to its self-reported version, the Webmin install hosted on the remote host is 1.840 or 1.880. It is, therefore, affected by a local file inclusion vulnerability.

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

Solution

Webmin administrator should manually set 'Can view any files as a log' option to 'No' within the configuration to protect sensitive system files from being read.
