Users should monitor vendor advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict delegated user privileges where possible and avoid viewing DNS records in ALL view mode if untrusted input is suspected.
Description
Webmin versions through 2.670 have a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the bind8/edit_recs.cgi script. This flaw allows delegated zone users, such as Virtualmin domain owners, to store DNS record values containing malicious scripts. These scripts execute in an administrator's browser when viewing zone records in ALL view mode, potentially compromising the administrator's session or data.
