CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to access sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the AllowChrootSymlinks option that checks only the last path component when enforcing it. A local user with ability to manage own FTP home directory can create a specially crafted symbolic link and gain unauthorized access to the filesystem.
