CVE-2005-3042
miniserv.pl in Webmin before 1.230 and Usermin before 1.160, when "full PAM conversations" is enabled, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by spoofing session IDs via certain metacharacters (line feed or carriage return).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.13%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
