High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ALFTP versions prior to 5.31
Description
The issue allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse executable file in a directory that is accessed for reading an extensionless file. This can be demonstrated by executing the README.exe file when a user attempts to access the README file.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 5.31, update to version 5.31 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to directories that contain executable files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
