CVE-2019-15642 describes an authenticated Remote Code Execution vulnerability in Webmin through version 1.920, specifically within the rpc.cgi component. This flaw, rated with a CVSS score of 8.8 (HIGH), allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code by crafting a malicious object name that is then processed by an 'eval' call in the unserialise_variable function. While requiring authentication, the attack complexity is low, and successful exploitation can lead to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, exploit code is available via Nuclei templates, and its high EPSS score indicates a significant likelihood of exploitation.
