CVE-2006-5983

Status: AnalyzedMedium (6)—💥 Exploit

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in JBMC Software DirectAdmin 1.28.1 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) user parameter to (a) CMD_SHOW_RESELLER or (b) CMD_SHOW_USER in the Admin level; the (2) TYPE parameter to (c) CMD_TICKET_CREATE or (d) CMD_TICKET, the (3) user parameter to (e) CMD_EMAIL_FORWARDER_MODIFY, (f) CMD_EMAIL_VACATION_MODIFY, or (g) CMD_FTP_SHOW, and the (4) name parameter to (h) CMD_EMAIL_LIST in the User level; or the (5) user parameter to (i) CMD_SHOW_USER in the Reseller level.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 6

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.77%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 78
Score date: 10/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
