An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-1999-1074 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Webmin Webmin. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1074/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1074/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1074","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1074/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1074","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gwfg-h74f-g6gq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Webmin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can gain privileges via brute force password cracking due to lack of rate limiting on invalid password attempts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"webmin","vendor":"webmin"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Webmin before 0.5 does not restrict the number of invalid passwords that are entered for a valid username, which could allow remote attackers to gain privileges via brute force password cracking.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1074","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"webmin:webmin","products":["webmin:webmin"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1075"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1073"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2002-03-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Webmin Command Injection","id":"CVE-2019-15107","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2019-08-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-2201","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-11-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1196","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-15"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Webmin CGI Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-12828","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-36446","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35769","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-8712","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can gain privileges via brute force password cracking due to lack of rate limiting on invalid password attempts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1074/"}
