CVE-2024-36452Network attack vector

Unintended terminal operations via forged browser requests

Published Jul 10, 2024 · Updated Nov 5, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in Webmin's ajaxterm module before 2.003 allows remote attackers to trigger unintended terminal operations. Public advisories do not identify the ajaxterm endpoint or disclose which request-validation operation is absent before browser-supplied requests reach it. Exploitation requires a logged-in user to view an attacker-controlled page; public sources do not bound which operations that account can perform.
