CVE-2026-123622: Usermin cross-site scripting in mailbox attachment handling

CVE-2026-123622 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.1 · Published 2026-11-06

Usermin is a web-based email and system administration interface for end users. A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the mailbox attachment viewer allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in an authenticated user's browser session by sending a malicious HTML attachment and tricking the user to open it with a crafted link. This could lead to session hijacking, email theft, or other account compromise.

Vendors: Webmin.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in mailbox/detach.cgi where the type parameter bypasses JavaScript filtering protections. When an attacker supplies type=text/html, the script skips the filter_javascript() call that would normally sanitize HTML content, directly outputting the attachment data. The attack requires the victim to be authenticated in Usermin and to click a malicious link crafted by the attacker.
