5.005 - Installed FTP server is configured to allow access to the system drive.

Information

This is a Category 1 finding because the FTP service allows remote users to access shared files and directories which could provide access to system resources and compromise the system, especially if the user can gain access to the root directory of the boot drive.

Solution

Configure the system to prevent an FTP Service from allowing access to the system drive.
