VAR-199907-0009

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 13:58

WS_FTP Pro 6.0 uses weak encryption for passwords in its initialization files, which allows remote attackers to easily decrypt the passwords and gain privileges. WS_FTP, both Pro and LE versions,. allows passwords to be saved as part of a saved site configuration. These passwords are encrypted and stored in .ini files. The encryption method is weak and can be broken. WS_FTP is a widely used FTP client software maintained by Ipswitch distribution. Certain versions of WS_FTP have a problem that will leak FTP user passwords
