id: CVE-2019-15642

info:
  name: Webmin < 1.920 - Authenticated Remote Code Execution
  author: pussycat0x
  severity: high
  description: |
    rpc.cgi in Webmin through 1.920 allows authenticated Remote Code Execution via a crafted object name because unserialise_variable makes an eval call. NOTE: the Webmin_Servers_Index documentation states "RPC can be used to run any command or modify any file on a server, which is why access to it must not be granted to un-trusted Webmin users."
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade Webmin to version 1.920 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.
