Synopsis

Webmin < 1.760 xmlrpc.cgi Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Webmin install hosted on the remote host is prior to 1.760. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in xmlrpc.cgi, which could potentially lead to remote code execution in certain products.

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

Solution

Update to Webmin version 1.760 or latest.
