Description

Webmin through 2.670 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in samba/save_euser.cgi that allows authenticated Samba user maintainers to inject commands via unvalidated opts parameter. Attackers can embed shell metacharacters in account option flags passed by create_user and modify_user to backquote_logged, executing commands as root.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Vulnerability
  1. Detect

    Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).

  2. Remediation status

    The records we use list no fixed release for CVE-2026-125391. Check the upstream advisory for a patched version, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    Stop passing untrusted input into the interpreter or shell: call the affected binary with an argument array rather than a composed command string, reject anything outside a strict allowlist of expected values, and run the component under an account that cannot reach beyond the work it legitimately does.
