An issue was discovered in ProVide (formerly zFTPServer) through 13.1. Privilege escalation can occur via the /ajax/SetUserInfo messages parameter because of the EXECUTE() feature, which is for executing programs when certain events are triggered.

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
