wftpserver Wing FTP Server any version

In Wing FTP Server before 7.4.4. the user and admin web interfaces mishandle '\0' bytes, ultimately allowing injection of arbitrary Lua code into user session files. This can be used to execute arbitrary system commands with the privileges of the FTP service (root or SYSTEM by default). This is thus a remote code execution vulnerability that guarantees a total server compromise. This is also exploitable via anonymous FTP accounts.

Weak Access Control between Domains in Wing FTP Server <= 7.2.0

Insecure Default Permissions in Wing FTP Server <= 7.2.0

Wing FTP Server before 7.4.4 does not properly validate and sanitize the url parameter of the downloadpass.html endpoint, allowing injection of an arbitrary link. If a user clicks a crafted link, this discloses a cleartext password to the attacker.

Wing FTP Server < 8.1.3 Authenticated Remote Code Execution via Session Serialization

An issue was discovered in Wing FTP Server 6.2.5 before February 2020. Due to insecure permissions when handling session cookies, a local user may view the contents of the session and session_admin directories, which expose active session cookies within the Wing FTP HTTP interface and administration panel. These cookies may be used to hijack user and administrative sessions, including the ability to execute Lua commands as root within the administration panel.

Wing FTP Server Lua Admin Console unnecessary privileges

Exposed Session Variable in Wing FTP Server <= 7.2.0

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in Wing FTP Server before 4.4.7 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) execute arbitrary code via a crafted request to admin_lua_script.html or (2) add a domain administrator via a crafted request to admin_addadmin.html.

Wing FTP Server before 4.1.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via two zip commands.

In Wing FTP Server through 7.4.4, the administrative web interface (listening by default on port 5466) runs as root or SYSTEM by default. The web application itself offers several legitimate ways to execute arbitrary system commands (i.e., through the web console or the task scheduler), and they are automatically executed in the highest possible privilege context. Because administrative users of the web interface are not necessarily also system administrators, one might argue that this is a privilege escalation. (If a privileged application role is not available to an attacker, CVE-2025-47812 can be leveraged.) NOTE: the vendor reportedly considers this behavior "fine to keep."

Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Wing FTP Server <= 7.2.0

Wing FTP Server < 6.2.7 - Cross-site Request Forgery

loginok.html in Wing FTP Server before 7.4.4 discloses the full local installation path of the application when using a long value in the UID cookie.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in admin_loginok.html in the Administrator web interface in Wing FTP Server for Windows 3.5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted POST request.
