Webmin / Usermin Null Filtering Vulnerabilities |

|
Checks if nulls in a URL are filtered by miniserv.pl Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server is affected by multiple issues. Description : The remote host is running Webmin or Usermin, web-based interfaces for Unix / Linux system administrators and end-users. Webmin and Usermin both come with the Perl script 'miniserv.pl' to provide basic web services, and the version of 'miniserv.pl' installed on the remote host fails to properly filter null characters from URLs. A possible hacker may be able to exploit this to reveal the source code of CGI scripts, obtain directory listings, or launch cross-site scripting attacks against the affected application.
