CVE-2026-90863
CriticalCVSS 9.1Summary
Progress Software WS_FTP Server versions prior to 2024.0.7 and 2025.0.4 on Windows have missing authorization in the administrative interface that could allow a delegated Host Administrator to exceed their authorized scope, potentially enabling arbitrary command execution with elevated privileges and complete compromise of the underlying server.
Risk Assessment
Privilege overreach by a delegated administrator can lead to arbitrary command execution and complete compromise of the underlying server.
Recommendation
Update WS_FTP Server to version 2024.0.7 or 2025.0.4 (or later) and limit the number and privileges of delegated Host Administrator accounts.
