    CVE-2022-30708

    Published: 15 May 2022Last Modified: 21 Oct 2026

    Summary:

    Details: Webmin through 1.991, when the Authentic theme is used, allows remote code execution when a user has been manually created (i.e., not created in Virtualmin or Cloudmin). This occurs because settings-editor_write.cgi does not properly restrict the file parameter.
