DescriptionCVE.org

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 commands by injecting unsanitized input stored in save_tmpl.cgi and rendered unescaped in list_tmpls.cgi.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in Webmin before 2.641 allows low-privileged authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the email template description field in the System and Server Status module. The payload is persisted through save_tmpl.cgi and rendered without HTML encoding by list_tmpls.cgi, executing in the browser of any user who subsequently views the template list - a population likely to include privileged administrators. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must hold a valid Webmin account with at least low-privileged access to the System and Server Status module's email template functionality, as confirmed by the CVSS 4.0 vector component PR:L. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.1 (Medium) accurately captures meaningful real-world constraints. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a low-privileged Webmin account navigates to the System and Server Status module and creates or edits an email template, inserting a JavaScript payload (such as a session cookie exfiltration script) into the description field, which is saved via save_tmpl.cgi. When a higher-privileged administrator later opens the template management page at list_tmpls.cgi, the payload silently executes in their browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal the admin's session token and gain full administrative control of the Webmin interface and the underlying server. …
Remediation The primary fix is upgrading to Webmin 2.641, which resolves this stored XSS as documented in the vendor changelog at https://webmin.com/changelog/webmin-2.641-released/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
