PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in index.php in net2ftp, possibly 0.1 through 0.62, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the application_rootdir parameter. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by a third party researcher, CVE, and the vendor. The vendor says "the variable is set in settings.inc.php, so this is not a vulnerability.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a disputed 2006 report about net2ftp. The claimed issue was remote code execution through a file inclusion parameter, but the vendor, CVE, and a third-party researcher disputed it, saying the variable is set server-side. Treat it as an exposure-check item, not confirmed emergency remediation. Exposure would mainly concern legacy, internet-facing net2ftp deployments matching the disputed version range. The source bundle does not confirm affected products beyond generic net2ftp references and lists affected vendor/product as n/a. Low operational priority unless legacy net2ftp is exposed to the internet. The business action is inventory and confirm configuration, because the vulnerability is disputed and no active exploitation evidence is provided. Mitigation focus: Check net2ftp vendor guidance before applying version-specific remediation.; Inventory and retire obsolete internet-facing net2ftp deployments where possible.; Restrict access to any required legacy net2ftp instance..
