This repository is a small proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2019-15107, a Webmin remote code execution vulnerability in the password change functionality. The repo contains three files: a Python exploit script (PoC.py), a README explaining the bug and reproduction steps, and a docker-compose.yml file that launches a vulnerable Webmin 1.910 instance from Vulhub for testing. The main exploit capability is arbitrary command execution against a vulnerable Webmin server over HTTPS. PoC.py accepts a target in IP:port form and an optional command (default: id). It constructs a POST request to /password_change.cgi, disables TLS certificate verification, and injects the attacker-controlled command into the old parameter while setting supporting fields user, pam, expired, new1, and new2. It also sets a Referer header to /session_login.cgi. If the server responds with HTTP 200, the script prints the full response body, which may include command output. Operationally, this is a straightforward exploit rather than a scanner or framework module. It does not include persistence, lateral movement, or staged payload delivery; instead it provides direct command execution with user-supplied commands. The README states that successful exploitation can yield root-level execution and notes the vulnerable configuration requirement passwd_mode=2. The docker-compose file exposes port 10000 and uses the vulhub/webmin:1.910 image, making local reproduction easy. Overall, the repository’s purpose is to demonstrate and reproduce Webmin RCE via the password_change.cgi old parameter injection path, not merely detect the issue.
This repository is a small standalone Python proof-of-concept exploit for unauthenticated remote command execution against vulnerable Webmin releases associated with CVE-2019-15107. The repo contains one primary code file (cve-2019-15107.py), a minimal README showing invocation syntax, a requirements.txt for Python dependencies, and standard license/gitignore files. The exploit logic is straightforward and operational: it accepts a target URL, optional port, and arbitrary command from the operator. It constructs a target endpoint at /password_change.cgi on the supplied host (default port 10000), sets Webmin-like cookies, and uses /session_login.cgi as the Referer header. It first performs a GET request to /password_change.cgi to determine whether the target appears promising by checking for HTTP 200, the string 'Failed' in the response body, and a Server header version in the vulnerable range 1.890-1.920. It then performs a probe command using echo 'vulnerable Webmin!' to verify command execution. If the probe output is reflected in the response, it submits the operator-provided command and prints the returned response body. The exploit sends the command in POST form fields 'expired' and 'old', covering both the 1.890 behavior and the 1.900-1.920 variant. This indicates the exploit is intended to support multiple vulnerable Webmin versions with a single request structure. TLS certificate validation is explicitly disabled, allowing exploitation of HTTPS services with self-signed or invalid certificates. Overall, the repository's purpose is offensive exploitation rather than mere detection: it validates the vulnerability and then executes arbitrary commands remotely. It is not part of a larger exploit framework, and its single-script structure makes it a direct standalone RCE tool.
This repository is a small standalone Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2019-15107, the Webmin unauthenticated RCE caused by a backdoored password change component. The repository contains only three files: an MIT LICENSE, a README describing the vulnerability and usage, and the main exploit script cve-2019-15107.py. The exploit script is the sole code file and clear entry point. It uses argparse for CLI handling, requests for HTTP(S) interaction, regex for parsing command output, and subprocess to launch a local netcat listener. It is not part of a larger exploitation framework. Core capabilities: - Detects likely vulnerable Webmin versions by sending benign echo markers through two payload formats. - Supports exploitation of Webmin 1.890 via the expired parameter. - Supports exploitation of later backdoored releases up to 1.920 via the old parameter in password_change.cgi, with supporting form fields. - Offers two operator modes: single-command execution with output extraction, or a Perl reverse shell that connects back to the attacker. - Can optionally route traffic through a proxy and can force exploitation attempts even if version detection fails. Exploit flow: 1. Build target URL from scheme, rhost, and rport. 2. POST to /password_change.cgi with crafted form data and Webmin-like cookies/Referer. 3. Detect vulnerability by checking for echoed markers in the HTTP response. 4. If command mode is selected, wrap the command with __START__/__END__ markers and parse returned output. 5. Otherwise, start a local nc listener and send a Perl reverse shell one-liner that connects back to the supplied lhost:lport and executes /bin/bash -i. Fingerprintable behavior includes requests to /password_change.cgi and use of /session_login.cgi as the Referer, default targeting of TCP/10000, optional proxying through 127.0.0.1:8080, and reverse shell callbacks to an attacker-controlled host/port. Overall, this is a real, functional operational exploit for unauthenticated Webmin RCE rather than a detector-only script.
This repository is a small standalone Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2019-15107, an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability in Webmin <= 1.920. The repository contains only three files: an MIT LICENSE, a README with usage/examples, and the main exploit script cve-2019-15107.py. The exploit script uses argparse for CLI handling, requests for HTTP(S) communication, subprocess to launch a local netcat listener, and time for simple synchronization. Its workflow is straightforward: parse user-supplied target and callback parameters, optionally verify the target by injecting a benign echo marker, start a local listener, then send a malicious POST request to Webmin's password_change.cgi endpoint. The request includes crafted form data where the expired parameter carries shell metacharacters and a Perl reverse-shell one-liner. If successful, the target connects back to the attacker on the supplied LHOST/LPORT and executes /bin/bash -i over that socket. Main capabilities: - Unauthenticated vulnerability check using a command-injection echo test. - Exploitation of Webmin password_change.cgi via POST request. - Automatic local listener startup using nc -lvnp. - Reverse shell delivery using an embedded Perl payload. - Optional HTTP or HTTPS transport and optional proxy support. Notable implementation details: - The exploit disables TLS certificate warnings and sets verify=False, indicating it is intended for self-signed or lab environments. - It sets a Referer header pointing to session_login.cgi, likely to resemble normal Webmin traffic. - The script is operational rather than highly flexible: it provides a working hardcoded reverse-shell payload but does not offer modular payload selection or framework integration. Overall, this is a genuine, compact operational exploit targeting exposed Webmin instances vulnerable to CVE-2019-15107, intended to obtain remote shell access over the network.
This repository contains two Python files. The main exploit is 'webmin-CVE-2019-15107.py', which targets the Webmin application vulnerable to CVE-2019-15107 (command injection in /password_change.cgi). The script allows an attacker to interactively execute arbitrary system commands on a vulnerable Webmin server by sending crafted POST requests to the /password_change.cgi endpoint, using the 'expired' parameter to inject commands. The script disables SSL warnings and requires the attacker to provide the target's IP and port as arguments. The exploit is operational, providing an interactive shell-like interface for command execution. The second file, 'keyboard.py', is unrelated to the exploit and simply demonstrates keyboard automation using the pynput library. The repository is focused on exploiting Webmin servers over the network via HTTPS endpoints.
