Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2006-4246 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2006-4246/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4246/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-4246","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4246/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-4246","record":{"aliases":["DSA-1177-1","GHSA-4qxm-xm9h-rhmg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Usermin web interface","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files and escalate privileges by exploiting improper handling of empty shell parameters in Usermin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"debian","cpe":[{"product":"usermin","vendor":"usermin"}],"cvss":{"score":3.6,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Usermin before 1.220 (20060629) allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files, possibly related to chfn/save.cgi not properly handling an empty shell parameter, which results in changing root's shell instead of the shell of a specified user.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4246","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Plone allows anonymous users to reset any users password through the web via Password Reset Tool","id":"CVE-2006-4247"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in archivemail","id":"CVE-2006-4245"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-09-19","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Unknown vulnerability in (1) Webmin and (2) Usermin before 1.200 causes Webmin to change permissions and ownership of configuration files, with unknown impact.","id":"CVE-2005-1177","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-04-19"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3042","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-09-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1468","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-02-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0756","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-07-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0757","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-07-26"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4542","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-09-05"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0588","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-06-23"}],"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":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files and escalate privileges by exploiting improper handling of empty shell parameters in Usermin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4246/"}
