Title: PlatinumFTPServer Arbitrary File Deletion Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
PlatinumFTPserver is a FTP server available for Microsoft Windows operating systems.
It has been reported that PlatinumFTPServer fails to properly sanitize some FTP commands. An attacker is able to traverse outside of the established FTP root by using dot-dot-slash (../) directory traversal sequences in conjunction with some FTP commands. Specifically, the attacker can use the DELETE FTP command to delete arbitrary files outside of the FTP root directory. This may be exploited by the attacker to render a system completely unusable.
This vulnerability was reported for PlatinumFTPserver 1.0.6. It is not known whether other versions are affected.
Affected Products:
- Byte/400 PlatinumFTPserver 1.0.6
