What is CVE-2010-20108?
CVE-2010-20108 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in FTPPad FTP Client, published on 21 Aug 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
FTPPad <= 1.2.0 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in its FTP directory listing parser. When the client connects to an FTP server and receives a crafted response to a LIST command containing an excessively long directory and filename, the application fails to properly validate input length. This results in a buffer overflow that overwrites the saved Extended Instruction Pointer (EIP), allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Weakness: CWE-121
