Published: 07/29/2026 (07/29/2026, 15:51:42 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Xlight
Product: Xlight FTP Server

Description

Xlight FTP Server versions prior to 3.9.5 have an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain the server's current GetTickCount() value. This is achieved by sending a specially crafted USER command with a username ending in the :adm suffix, which triggers the admin protocol path and leaks timing information in the FTP 331 response. This vulnerability does not require authentication, separate ports, or configuration changes.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-67193 describes an information disclosure vulnerability in Xlight FTP Server before version 3.9.5. An unauthenticated attacker can send a USER command with a username ending in ':adm' to trigger the admin protocol path within the FTP listener before authentication completes. This causes the server to leak its current GetTickCount() value via the FTP 331 response, exposing timing information that could be used for further analysis or attacks. The vulnerability does not require additional ports or configuration changes to exploit.

Potential Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain timing information from the server, specifically the current GetTickCount() value. This constitutes an information disclosure that could potentially aid attackers in reconnaissance or timing-based attacks. There is no indication of direct code execution or privilege escalation from this vulnerability alone.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or remediation is currently confirmed for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. Until a fix is available, consider restricting access to the FTP service or implementing network-level controls to limit exposure. Avoid using usernames ending with ':adm' if possible, as this triggers the vulnerability.
