Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-09-27 15:30 – Updated: 2024-04-04 07:54

Details

In WS_FTP Server version 8.7.0 prior to 8.7.4 and

version 8.8.0 prior to 8.8.2, a directory traversal vulnerability was discovered. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to perform file operations (delete, rename, rmdir, mkdir) on files and folders outside of their authorized WS_FTP folder path. Attackers could also escape the context of the WS_FTP Server file structure and perform the same level of operations (delete, rename, rmdir, mkdir) on file and folder locations on the underlying operating system.

Severity

9.9 (Critical)
