webmin

When Im in File Manager of Webmin, I can double click and see the codes of the files in new tab in Firefox with its specific URL.

But when I remove ?rand=xxxx... after the file.php and paste the URL in Chrome browser, I still can see the codes.

This is the URL I just pasted in the Chrome browser

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/file/show.cgi/var/www/html/mysite.com/files/file.php

And then, I logout of webmin, and I change the file.php with other file, I can see the codes.

OMG. Is Webmin safe? and how to secure this?

I've recently installed Webmin on a Ubuntu server but I can't get it to work. I asked a recent question about saving iptables but it turns out you don't need to "save" iptables changes. Anyway, I still can't get Webmin working after opening the port up: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10000… >>> More
