CVE-2002-2417

Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—💥 Exploit

acFTP 1.4 does not properly handle when an invalid password is provided by the user during authentication, which allows remote attackers to hide or misrepresent certain activity from log files and possibly gain privileges.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
