CVE-2026-44331

In ProFTPD through 1.3.9a before 7666224, a SQL injection vulnerability in sqltab_fetch_clients_cb() in contrib/mod_wrap2_sql.c allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands via a crafted domain name that is accessed in a reverse DNS lookup. When "UseReverseDNS on" is enabled, the attacker-supplied hostname is passed unescaped into SQL queries. The character restrictions of DNS names may affect exploitability.

8.1 3.1 HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:H)
Even with access, the exploit needs extra luck, timing, or a fussy environment to actually work.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
