New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)

Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it is different from CVSS.

VPR Score: 2.5

Synopsis

The remote FTP server allows plaintext command injection while negotiating an encrypted communications channel.

Description

The remote FTP server contains a software flaw in its AUTH TLS implementation that could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to inject commands during the plaintext protocol phase that will be executed during the ciphertext protocol phase.

Successful exploitation could permit an attacker to modify files on the FTP server and reveal a user's credentials.

Solution

Contact the vendor to see if an update is available.
