FTP Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Category SECURITY_MISCONFIGURATION
Base Score 4.0

Description

The software uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize sequences such as ".." that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.

Impact

An attacker may be able to create, overwrite, upload malicious software, download sensitive information, cause a denial of service, or delete critical files.
