Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
FreeFloat FTP Server contains multiple critical design flaws that allow unauthenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files to sensitive system directories. The server accepts empty credentials, defaults user access to the root of the C:\ drive, and imposes no restrictions on file type or destination path. These conditions enable attackers to upload executable payloads and .mof files to locations such as system32 and wbem\mof, where Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) automatically processes and executes them. This results in remote code execution with SYSTEM-level privileges, without requiring user interaction.

AI Powered Q&A
How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely on the affected system with SYSTEM-level privileges. This means attackers can take full control of the system, potentially leading to data theft, system compromise, disruption of services, or further attacks within the network.


Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

FreeFloat FTP Server has critical design flaws that let unauthenticated remote attackers upload any files to sensitive system directories. The server accepts empty credentials, defaults user access to the root of the C:\ drive, and does not restrict file types or destination paths. Attackers can upload executable and .mof files to system locations where Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) automatically executes them, leading to remote code execution with SYSTEM-level privileges without user interaction.
