AI-suggested
Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the FTP server to trusted networks and monitor for suspicious FTP activity. Avoid exposing the vulnerable ColoradoFTP Server version to untrusted networks.
Description
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in ColoradoFTP Server ≤ 1.3 Build 8 for Windows, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read or write arbitrary files outside the configured FTP root directory. The flaw is due to insufficient sanitation of user-supplied file paths in the FTP GET and PUT command handlers. Exploitation is possible by submitting traversal sequences during FTP operations, enabling access to system-sensitive files. This issue affects only the Windows version of ColoradoFTP.
