CVE-2012-10030

FreeFloat FTP Server contains multiple critical design flaws that allow unauthenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files to sensitive system directories. The server accepts empty credentials, defaults user access to the root of the C:\ drive, and imposes no restrictions on file type or destination path. These conditions enable attackers to upload executable payloads and .mof files to locations such as system32 and wbem\mof, where Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) automatically processes and executes them. This results in remote code execution with SYSTEM-level privileges, without requiring user interaction.

Summary
  • (es) FreeFloat FTP Server presenta múltiples fallos de diseño críticos que permiten a atacantes remotos no autenticados cargar archivos arbitrarios en directorios sensibles del sistema. El servidor acepta credenciales vacías, establece el acceso de usuario a la raíz de la unidad C:\ y no impone restricciones sobre el tipo de archivo ni la ruta de destino. Estas condiciones permiten a los atacantes cargar cargas ejecutables y archivos .mof en ubicaciones como system32 y wbem\mof, donde Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) los procesa y ejecuta automáticamente. Esto resulta en la ejecución remota de código con privilegios de nivel SYSTEM, sin necesidad de la interacción del usuario.
