Title: Sysax Multi Server FTP 'DELE' Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

Sysax Multi Server is an SSH and FTP server for Microsoft Windows.

The application is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. This issue affects FTP 'DELE' commands. An authenticated remote attacker may delete arbitrary files outside of the FTP server root directory.

The attacker could exploit this vulnerability using directory-traversal strings (such as '..//') to access arbitrary files outside of the FTP server root directory. This can expose sensitive information that could help the attacker launch further attacks.

Sysax Multi Server 4.3 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • Codeorigin Sysax Multi Server 4.3
