AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit demonstrates a CSRF vulnerability in multiple FTP servers by embedding malicious FTP commands in a URL. The attack leverages the FTP protocol's handling of URLs to execute arbitrary commands (e.g., SITE CHMOD) in the context of a user's session.

Description

ftpd in OpenBSD 4.3, FreeBSD 7.0, NetBSD 4.0, Solaris, and possibly other operating systems interprets long commands from an FTP client as multiple commands, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and execute arbitrary FTP commands via a long ftp:// URI that leverages an existing session from the FTP client implementation in a web browser.
