Usermin Remote Arbitrary Shell Command Execution Vulnerability

Problem first discovered on: Sun, 11 Apr 2004
Published on: Tue, 7 Sept 2004
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Severity:
---------
Medium


Overview:
---------
A vulnerability in Usermin's Web mail function could result in
arbitrary OS command execution upon viewing a specially crafted
HTML mail.


Problem Description:
--------------------
Usermin is a web interface that allows all users on a Unix system
to easily receive mails and to perform SSH and mail forwarding
configuration.

A vulnerability exists in Usermin because the module responsible
for mail transmission fails to sanitize HTML mails including a link
to another Usermin module. An attacker could take advantage of this
problem to execute arbitrary OS commands with the privileges of the
Usermin user.


Affected Versions:
------------------
Usermin Version 1.070
Usermin Version 1.080


Solution:
---------
This problem can be addressed by upgrading Usermin to version 1.090.
