Vulnerability Details

Technical details and impact analysis

Insufficiently Protected Credentials
**Summary:** An exposed configuration file leaks FTP credentials to a DoD server. **Description:** The config file hosted on`ftp://█████████/pub/misc/FTP_███████Sign.exe.config` exposes a username `█████████` and associated password `███████`. These are valid credentials for the FTP server operating on `██████████:21`. This was verified by establishing a connection to the server with the credentials - no file data was transferred. ## Impact Read access to any file on the `████` FTP server. ## Step-by-step Reproduction Instructions 1. Navigate to `ftp://████/pub/misc/FTP_██████Sign.exe.config` (establishes an anonymous FTP session on modern browsers) 2. Verify credentials are in the `userSettings` XML section 3. Establish an FTP connection to `████████` using the credentials ## Suggested Mitigation/Remediation Actions Anonymous FTP access should be disabled on `██████████` and the credentials exposed in the configuration file should be changed.
