Xymon useradm Command Execution allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary OS commands as the web server user before version 4.3.25 on Xymon. The vulnerability occurs when adding a new user via the web interface using `useradm.sh`, passing the username and password to `htpasswd` without validation

'Name' => 'Xymon useradm Command Execution',  
'Description' => %q{  
This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in Xymon  
versions before 4.3.25 which allows authenticated users  
to execute arbitrary operating system commands as the web  
server user.  
  
When adding a new user to the system via the web interface with  
`useradm.sh`, the user's username and password are passed to  
`htpasswd` in a call to `system()` without validation.  
  
This module has been tested successfully on Xymon version 4.3.10  
on Debian 6.
