CVSS 3.0
8.8 highCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2019-15642
High (8.8) in webmin webmin. EPSS 37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
rpc.cgi in Webmin through 1.920 allows authenticated Remote Code Execution via a crafted object name because unserialise_variable makes an eval call. NOTE: the Webmin_Servers_Index documentation states "RPC can be used to run any command or modify any file on a server, which is why access to it must not be granted to un-trusted Webmin users."
