backup-manager-upload in Backup Manager before 0.6.3 provides the FTP server hostname, username, and password as plaintext command line arguments during FTP uploads, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by listing the process and its arguments, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-2766.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Backup Manager before 0.6.3 could expose FTP backup credentials to other local users on the same system during uploads. The password was passed in plaintext as a command-line argument, making it visible through normal process listing behavior. The business risk is credential leakage, especially on shared servers. Exposure is most likely on systems running Backup Manager before 0.6.3, using FTP upload functionality, and allowing untrusted or lower-privileged local users. Single-user systems have lower practical exposure, but leaked FTP credentials may affect backup storage or related infrastructure. Treat this as a credential-exposure issue rather than a broad internet-facing emergency. Prioritize shared servers, backup infrastructure, and any environment where backup FTP credentials could unlock sensitive data or recovery systems. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Backup Manager to 0.6.3 or a vendor-supported fixed package.; Review Debian DSA-1518 if using Debian-packaged Backup Manager.; Rotate FTP credentials that may have been exposed on shared systems..
