Format string vulnerability in Ipswitch WS_FTP Home 2007.0.0.2 and WS_FTP Professional 2007.1.0.0 allows remote FTP servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a connection greeting (response).

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious or compromised FTP server can send a crafted connection greeting that crashes vulnerable Ipswitch WS_FTP client versions and may allow code execution. The main concern is users still running the 2007 Home or Professional clients and connecting to untrusted FTP servers. Exposure is limited to legacy WS_FTP client installations matching the listed 2007 versions. Risk rises where users connect to external, unmanaged, or partner FTP servers, or where an attacker can impersonate or compromise an FTP server. Prioritize discovery and removal of the affected legacy clients. This is not KEV-listed in the supplied sources, but possible code execution from a server response makes unmanaged FTP use a business risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for the affected WS_FTP Home and Professional versions.; Retire or upgrade affected legacy WS_FTP clients using vendor guidance.; Restrict use of untrusted or unmanaged FTP servers where feasible..
