CVE-2006-3392 EXPLOIT
5.0
MEDIUM · CVSS 2.0 · EPSS 78.3% (pctl 100)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
Webmin before 1.290 and Usermin before 1.220 calls the simplify_path function before decoding HTML, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files, as demonstrated using "..%01" sequences, which bypass the removal of "../" sequences before bytes such as "%01" are removed from the filename. NOTE: This is a different issue than CVE-2006-3274.
