Description
Monsta FTP versions 2.11 and earlier contain a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated arbitrary file uploads. This flaw enables attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a specially crafted file from a malicious (S)FTP server.
Analysis
Monsta FTP web-based file manager versions 2.11 and earlier allow unauthenticated arbitrary file uploads. The vulnerability enables attackers to upload malicious files from a compromised FTP server, which are then executed on the Monsta FTP server, achieving remote code execution.
Technical Context
Monsta FTP acts as a web-based FTP client. The file upload vulnerability allows files from a connected FTP server to be saved to the web server without proper type validation. By connecting to a malicious FTP server, an attacker can serve a PHP webshell that Monsta FTP downloads and makes web-accessible.
Affected Products
['Monsta FTP <= 2.11']
Remediation
Update Monsta FTP to a version beyond 2.11. Implement file type validation on all transferred files. Block PHP execution in FTP transfer directories.
