CVE-2006-3392 is a remote directory traversal and arbitrary file disclosure vulnerability affecting Webmin before 1.290 and Usermin before 1.220. The flaw is caused by improper input sanitization in path handling: the simplify_path function removes "../" sequences before HTML/URL decoding occurs. Because decoding happens after path simplification, an attacker can supply crafted traversal sequences such as "..%01" to bypass the traversal filter and access files outside the intended directory. The issue is remotely exploitable without authentication and can be used to read sensitive files on the underlying system, such as /etc/passwd.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting a file disclosure vulnerability in Webmin and Usermin (CVE-2006-3392). The exploit leverages a path traversal flaw in the handling of URLs, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the server by sending a specially crafted HTTP request. The module is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, requiring the user to specify the target file path (default: /etc/passwd) and the Webmin directory (default: /unauthenticated). The exploit is operational and can be used to retrieve sensitive files from vulnerable Webmin/Usermin installations accessible over the network.
This repository contains a Python3 proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2006-3392, targeting Webmin versions less than 1.290 and Usermin versions less than 1.220. The exploit leverages a directory traversal vulnerability in the '/unauthenticated/' path to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem. The main file, 'exploit.py', accepts command-line arguments for the target protocol (HTTP/HTTPS), server address, port, and the file to read. It constructs a specially crafted URL with a repeated '/.%01' payload to bypass path restrictions and sends a GET request to retrieve the file contents. The repository is structured simply, with only the exploit script, a .gitignore, and a license file. No hardcoded endpoints are present; the target is specified at runtime. The exploit is operational as a proof-of-concept and does not include advanced payloads or post-exploitation features.
