This can’t be good for the makers of the software that has been given a lot of coverage through the past year with multiple vulnerabilities that have lead to compromise of data.
I can’t blame them for all of it, they have patched the software, but users are responsible for updating it. This vulnerability that Bleeping computer is talking about is in the SFTP (Secure file transfer protocol) portion of the program. They call it WSFTP, but I don’t know what the W stands for.
The full article is titled Progress warns of maximum severity WS_FTP Server vulnerability for those who need to read about it. This is definitely unfortunate, as I know that they’ve been through a lot lately.
I urge those who use this software to update. I know the article is a few days old, but we must push this out. Make it a great day.
