This host is installed with FTPx Corp FTP Explorer and is prone to directory traversal vulnerability.

Successful exploitation will allow attackers to write files into a user's Startup folder to execute malicious code when the user logs on. Impact Level: Application.

No solution or patch was made available for at least one year since disclosure of this vulnerability. Likely none will be provided anymore. General solution options are to upgrade to a newer release, disable respective features, remove the product or replace the product by another one.

The flaw exists due to error in handling of file names. It does not properly sanitise filenames containing directory traversal sequences that are received from an FTP server.
