CVE-2023-47096Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Script execution via unneutralized Cloudmin master field

Published Oct 31, 2023 · Updated Sep 5, 2024

Reflected XSS in Virtualmin 7.7 allows remote authenticated users to inject script through the Cloudmin services master field. The Cloudmin Services Client passes the field value through its Save workflow without neutralizing HTML or script content, causing the payload to execute. Access to System Settings and user interaction are required; successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled content in the affected user's browser context.
