Total wftpserver CVEs: 10
Earliest CVE date: 19 Dec 2008, 01:52 UTC
Latest CVE date: 26 May 2025, 14:15 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2025-5196
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 1
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): -100.0%
Year Variation (Calendar): -75.0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): -100.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): -75.0%
Average CVSS: 4.49
Max CVSS: 9.0
Critical CVEs (≥9): 1
| Range | Count |
|---|---|
| 0.0-3.9 | 5 |
| 4.0-6.9 | 6 |

These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for wftpserver, sorted by severity first and recency.
A vulnerability has been found in Wing FTP Server up to 7.4.3 and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the component Lua Admin Console. The manipulation leads to execution with unnecessary privileges. The attack can be launched remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation appears to be difficult. Upgrading to version 7.4.4 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The vendor explains: "[W]e do not consider it as a security vulnerability, because the system admin in WingFTP has full permissions [...], but you can suggest the user run WingFTP service as Normal User rather than SYSTEM/Root, it will be safer."
Weak access control in Wing FTP Server (Admin Web Client) allows for privilege escalation.This issue affects Wing FTP Server: <= 7.2.0.
Insecure storage of sensitive information in Wing FTP Server (User Web Client) allows information elicitation.This issue affects Wing FTP Server: <= 7.2.0.
Insecure default permissions in Wing FTP Server (Admin Web Client) allows for privilege escalation.This issue affects Wing FTP Server: <= 7.2.0.
Improper encoding or escaping of output in Wing FTP Server (User Web Client) allows Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).This issue affects Wing FTP Server: <= 7.2.0.
An XSS issue was discovered in Wing FTP 6.4.4. An arbitrary IFRAME element can be included in the help pages via a crafted link, leading to the execution of (sandboxed) arbitrary HTML and JavaScript in the user's browser.
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 v6.2.3 for Linux, macOS, and Solaris sets insecure permissions on installation directories and configuration files. This allows local users to arbitrarily create FTP users with full privileges, and escalate privileges within the operating system by modifying system files.
Wing FTP Server v6.2.3 for Linux, macOS, and Solaris sets insecure permissions on files modified within the HTTP file management interface, resulting in files being saved with world-readable and world-writable permissions. If a sensitive system file were edited this way, a low-privilege user may escalate privileges to root.
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.
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.
Stack-based buffer overflow in WFTPSRV.exe in WinFTP 2.3.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long LIST argument beginning with an * (asterisk) character.
WinFTP FTP Server 2.3.0, when passive (aka PASV) mode is used, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service via a sequence of FTP sessions that include an invalid "NLST -1" command.
