CVE-2025-47812
CVE-2025-47812 is a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting Wing FTP Server versions prior to 7.4.4. It was discovered by a security researcher and has been confirmed to be actively exploited in the wild.
The vulnerability lies in the authentication logic of Wing FTP Server, specifically in how it handles null bytes (\0) in the username parameter.
Attackers can inject arbitrary Lua code through the username field, which the server will write into the session file. When this session file is processed later, the injected Lua code gets executed, allowing attackers to run system-level commands.
