What to do
AI-suggested
Until an official fix is available, restrict local access to the device and monitor for suspicious activity related to vsftpd. Avoid exposing the device to untrusted users to reduce risk.
Description
In Linksys EA6350 V2.1.2, the chroot_local_user option is enabled in the dynamically generated vsftpd configuration file. This could lead to unauthorized access to system files, privilege escalation, or use of the compromised server as a pivot point for internal network attacks.
