What is CVE-2021-31762?
Webmin version 1.973 is susceptible to a Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, which can be exploited by an attacker to create a privileged user using the 'add users' feature. This maliciously crafted request can manipulate legitimate users into performing unintended actions, ultimately allowing the attacker to gain a reverse shell by executing commands through Webmin's process functionality.
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
