On Monday, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added a new entry to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, highlighting a medium-severity security flaw in Wing FTP. This vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-47813, has been confirmed to be actively exploited in the wild, prompting immediate attention from cybersecurity professionals.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 4.3, which classifies it as medium severity. It is categorized as an information disclosure vulnerability, which means that under certain conditions, it can leak sensitive information, specifically the installation path of the Wing FTP application.
CISA stated, "Wing FTP Server contains a generation of error messages containing sensitive information vulnerability when using a long value in the UID cookie." This means that when an attacker manipulates the UID cookie in a specific way, it could lead to the exposure of the installation path, potentially allowing for further attacks or exploitation.
For organizations using Wing FTP, this vulnerability could pose significant risks. The leaked installation path can provide attackers with crucial information that may aid in crafting targeted attacks or exploiting other vulnerabilities within the system.
To mitigate the risks associated with CVE-2025-47813, CISA recommends that organizations take the following actions:
As cyber threats continue to evolve, it is crucial for organizations to remain vigilant and proactive in securing their systems. The recent identification of CVE-2025-47813 in the Wing FTP server serves as a reminder of the importance of regular updates and monitoring. Stay informed and take the necessary steps to protect your infrastructure from potential exploits.
