 - In ProFTPD through 1.3.9a before 7666224, a SQL injection vulnerability in sqltab_fetch_clients_cb() in
 contrib/mod_wrap2_sql.c allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands via a crafted domain

 hostname is passed unescaped into SQL queries. The character restrictions of DNS names may affect
 exploitability. (CVE-2026-44331)
