Title: gFTP On-Screen Plaintext Password Vulnerability
Severity: LOW
Description:
gFTP is a freely available graphical file transfer client for UNIX based machines running X11R6 or later. It includes support for file transfers using the FTP, HTTP, and SSH protocols.
When a user logs on to an FTP server using gFTP the login password is displayed in plaintext on the screen. The password is displayed in the log window.
The effect is that anyone viewing the screen during a login will be privy to the password.
