CVE-2004-0583
The account lockout functionality in (1) Webmin 1.140 and (2) Usermin 1.070 does not parse certain character strings, which allows remote attackers to conduct a brute force attack to guess user IDs and passwords.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.08%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
