Published Apr 27, 2007 CVSS 2.0 · 6.8 Medium EPSS 3.2% KEV · Not listed
Description
mirror --script in lftp before 3.5.9 does not properly quote shell metacharacters, which might allow remote user-assisted attackers to execute shell commands via a malicious script. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue crosses security boundaries, since the script already supports commands such as "get" which could overwrite executable files.
