Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2019-12840 exists.\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-2019-12840/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-12840/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-12840","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-12840/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-12840","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gcq8-ggwj-2xvv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Webmin system administration","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users with Package Updates access can execute arbitrary commands as root via the update.cgi data parameter.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"webmin","vendor":"webmin"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"In Webmin through 1.910, any user authorized to the \"Package Updates\" module can execute arbitrary commands with root privileges via the data parameter to update.cgi.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2019-05-16","github_poc":7,"max_poc_stars":9,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2019-11-09T17:48:39Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/KrE80r/webmin_cve-2019-12840_poc","stars":9,"title":"A standalone POC for CVE-2019-12840"},{"date":"2019-11-05T19:22:45Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/bkaraceylan/CVE-2019-12840_POC","stars":4,"title":"PoC for Webmin Package Update Authenticated Remote Command Execution"},{"date":"2019-05-16","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/http/webmin_packageup_rce","stars":null,"title":"Webmin Package Updates Remote Command Execution"},{"date":"2019-06-11","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"46984","stars":null,"title":"Webmin 1.910 -
