CVE-2005-2898

Estado: ModificadaMedia (4.6)—💥 Exploit

NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor. 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.

CVSS

Versión: 2.0
Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Puntuación base: 4.6

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.50%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 40
Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
