Title: FlashFXP User Password Encryption Weakness
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
FlashFXP is a FTP implementation that allows client-server file transfers in addition to site-to-site file transfers. It is available for Microsoft Windows.
FlashFXP uses a trivially reversible algorithm to encode FTP user credentials. FTP user passwords are encrypted using XOR with a weak key. Local attackers with access to the sites.data may exploit this weakness to gain unauthorized access to FTP user credentials for remote sites.
If credentials are used for multiple services or sites, it may permit attackers to gain unauthorized access to those services as well.
Affected Products:
- FlashFXP FlashFXP 1.4.0
