Local service crash via oversized administrative password
Published Jan 13, 2026 · Updated Jan 13, 2026
Denial of service in Sysax Multi Server 6.95 allows local users to crash the service through an oversized administrative password. Saving the Password field fails to reject an 800-byte repeated-character value and terminates the application. Exploitation requires local administrative access, active user interaction, and enabled web administration and API access; the crash interrupts file-transfer services.
