The get1 command, as used by lftpget, in LFTP before 4.0.6 does not properly validate a server-provided filename before determining the destination filename of a download, which allows remote servers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a Content-Disposition header that suggests a crafted filename, and possibly execute arbitrary code as a consequence of writing to a dotfile in a home directory.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malicious or compromised download server could make vulnerable LFTP clients save a file under an attacker-chosen name. In risky cases, this could overwrite sensitive user files, including startup dotfiles, creating a path to later code execution. The issue affects LFTP before 4.0.6 according to the CVE description. Exposure is most likely on legacy Unix/Linux systems running LFTP before 4.0.6, especially where lftpget is used interactively or in automated downloads from servers outside strict trust boundaries. Treat as a legacy hygiene and automation-risk issue. Prioritize environments where old LFTP clients run scheduled downloads or process external URLs, because arbitrary file overwrite can become business-impacting when privileged accounts are involved. Mitigation focus: Upgrade LFTP to 4.0.6 or later where available.; Check distribution advisories from Debian, Fedora, SUSE, and rPath.; Avoid lftpget downloads from untrusted or user-controlled servers..
