Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 2 public exploits for CVE-2026-44403. PoCs published by Ünsal Furkan Harani, ZemarKhos.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit demonstrates an authenticated RCE vulnerability in Wing FTP Server 8.1.2 by injecting arbitrary Lua code through a poisoned domain admin's 'mydirectory' field, which executes when the session is loaded via `loadfile()`.

Description

Wing FTP Server before 8.1.3 contains an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the session serialization mechanism that allows authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary Lua code through the domain admin mydirectory field. Attackers can exploit unsafe serialization of session values into Lua source code without proper escaping of closing delimiters, causing the injected code to be executed when the poisoned session is loaded via loadfile().
