Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-40984 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-2023-40984/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40984/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40984","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40984/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40984","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pg5c-r35w-x68r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Webmin File Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute malicious scripts in Webmin's File Manager via reflected XSS, potentially compromising user sessions and data.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"webmin","vendor":"webmin"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the File Manager function of Webmin v2.100 allows attackers to execute malicious scripts via injecting a crafted payload into the Replace in Results file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-40984","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"webmin:webmin","products":["webmin:webmin"],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-40985"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-40983"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-09-15","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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-09","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute malicious scripts in Webmin's File Manager via reflected XSS, potentially compromising user sessions and data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40984/"}
