Title: Pablo Software Solutions FTP Service Anonymous Users Privileges Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Pablo Software Solutions FTP Service is freely available software for Microsoft Windows operating systems.
An issue in Pablo FTP Service may make it possible for remote users to perform unauthorized actions.
It has been reported that Pablo FTP Service does not sufficiently restrict the anonymous user account, which is active by default. Because of this, a default configuration may provide a conduit for the disclosure of potentially sensitive information.
The problem is in the permission scheme implemented with a default installation. Reports indicate that the default anonymous account does not restrict the user from downloading files from any FTP server readable location on the affected system. By default the drive on which the software is installed is mapped readable from the root directory eg 'C:\'.
An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to access arbitrary files on the underlying system and potentially disclose sensitive information. Information gathered in this way may be harness in further attacks launched against the affected system.
It should be noted that while this vulnerability has been reported to affect Pablo FTP service version 1.2, other versions might also be affected.
Affected Products:
- Pablo Software Solutions FTP Service 1.2.0
