An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-1999-1078 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1078/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1078/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1078","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1078/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1078","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6f22-qgj8-vfqm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FTP client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Weak encryption in WS_FTP Pro allows remote attackers to decrypt stored passwords and gain unauthorized privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ws_ftp_pro","vendor":"ipswitch"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"WS_FTP Pro 6.0 uses weak encryption for passwords in its initialization files, which allows remote attackers to easily decrypt the passwords and gain privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1078","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Vulnerability in ptrace in AIX 4.3 allows local users to gain privileges by attaching to a setgid program.","id":"CVE-1999-1079"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1077"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0330","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-01-18"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-1851","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-06-28"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1884","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-05-10"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0665","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Weak encryption in WS_FTP Pro allows remote attackers to decrypt stored passwords and gain unauthorized privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1078/"}
