Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: GuildFTPd version 0.9.7

Description: The issue allows local users to gain privileges as other FTP users. This is possible because GuildFTPd stores user names and passwords in plaintext in the default.usr file, which can be read by local users.

Recommendations: For GuildFTPd version 0.9.7, consider restricting access to the default.usr file to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using plaintext storage for user credentials until a more secure method is implemented.
