FTP credential disclosure via unmasked exception URI
Published Mar 23, 2025 · Updated Apr 1, 2025
Information disclosure in Apache Commons VFS before 2.10.0 allows attackers to expose FTP passwords through file-not-found errors. FtpFileObject includes the original password-bearing FTP URI in a FileNotFoundException message instead of masking the password. Exposure requires a consuming application to supply credentials in the URI and reveal the exception; the consequence is limited to disclosure of that FTP password.
