CVE-2025-3681Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated memory corruption via MODE command

Published Apr 16, 2025 · Updated Apr 16, 2025

Buffer overflow in the MODE command handler in PCMan FTP Server 2.0.7 allows remote attackers to corrupt process memory via FTP. The public record identifies the handler but does not disclose the destination buffer, copy operation, or malformed input length that causes the overwrite. No authentication or user interaction is required, but the record does not establish whether exploitation stops at a service interruption or permits code execution.
