CVSS 3.0
6.5 mediumCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:NCVE-2018-10916
Medium (6.5). EPSS 4.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
It has been discovered that lftp up to and including version 4.8.3 does not properly sanitize remote file names, leading to a loss of integrity on the local system when reverse mirroring is used. A remote attacker may trick a user to use reverse mirroring on an attacker controlled FTP server, resulting in the removal of all files in the current working directory of the victim's system.
