    Impact :
    
        A remote attacker could bypass the authentication process and run
        any command as the root user on the target server.
      
    Workaround :
    
        Do not enable 'full PAM conversations' in the Authentication
        options of Webmin and Usermin."

    descriptionAccording to its self-reported version, the Webmin install hosted on the remote host is prior to 1.230. It is, therefore, affected by a potential authentication bypass via spoofed session IDs.
