An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-36446 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-2022-36446/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-36446/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-36446","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-36446/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-36446","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3q8j-9w3h-v6p5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Webmin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into the Webmin UI command field, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"webmin","vendor":"webmin"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-116","name":"Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output"}],"description":"software/apt-lib.pl in Webmin before 1.997 lacks HTML escaping for a UI command.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2022-07-26","github_poc":4,"max_poc_stars":116,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2022-08-11T11:47:17Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/p0dalirius/CVE-2022-36446-Webmin-Software-Package-Updates-RCE","stars":116,"title":"A Python script to exploit CVE-2022-36446 Software Package Updates RCE (Authenticated) on Webmin \u003c 1.997."},{"date":"2022-09-09T10:34:53Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/emirpolatt/CVE-2022-36446","stars":3,"title":"CVE-2022-36446 - Webmin 1.996 Remote Code Execution"},{"date":"2022-07-26","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/http/webmin_package_updates_rce","stars":null,"title":"Webmin Package Updates RCE"},{"date":"2022-08-01","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"50998","stars":null,"title":"Webmin 1.996 - Remote Code Execution (RCE) (Authenticated)"},{"date":"2024-06-11T04:21:28Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Kang3639/CVE-2022-36446","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2022-36446 POC 실습"},{"date":"2026-07-04T04:33:47Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/darnabin/CVE-2022-36446-Webmin-RCE","stars":0,"title":"Script de python para Webmin 1.996"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2022/CVE-2022-36446.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Webmin \u003c1.997 - Authenticated Remote Code Execution"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-36446","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"webmin:webmin","products":["webmin:webmin"],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"chia-blockchain tokens can be inflated to an arbitrary extent","id":"CVE-2022-36447"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-36444"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-07-25","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":"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into the Webmin UI command field, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-36446/"}
