FileZilla 2.2.14b and 2.2.15, and possibly earlier versions, when \"Use secure mode\" is disabled, uses a weak encryption scheme to store the user's password in the configuration settings file, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information. NOTE: the vendor has disputed the issue, stating that \"the problem is not a vulnerability at all, but in fact a fundamental issue of every single program that can store passwords transparently.\"" } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1328", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1328" }, { "name": "filezilla-password-weak-encryption(22135)", "refsource": "XF", "url": "https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/22135" }, { "name": "14730", "refsource": "BID", "url": "http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14730" }, { "name": "20050902 FileZilla weakly-encrypted password vulnerability: advisory + PoC", "refsource": "BUGTRAQ", "url": "http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=112577523810442&w=2" }, { "name": "20050904 Re: FileZilla weakly-encrypted password vulnerability: advisory + PoC", "refsource": "BUGTRAQ", "url": "http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=112605448327521&w=2" } ] } }
