Overview

Exploits a file disclosure vulnerability in Webmin (CVE-2006-3392) Webmin before 1.290 and Usermin before 1.220 calls the simplify_path function before decoding HTML. This allows arbitrary files to be read, without requiring authentication, using ”..%01” sequences to bypass the removal of ”../” directory traversal sequences.
