AceBIT GmbH 
Product: Wise-FTP Software 8.0.2


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Local


Severity Level:
===============
High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A local dll injection vulnerability has been discovered in the official 
Wise-FTP v8.0.2 software.
The issue allows local attackers to inject code to vulnerable libraries to 
compromise the process or to gain higher access privileges.

The windows software is vulnerable to dll hijacking attacks. The vulnerability 
is located in the Linkinfo.dll , mpr.dll , netutils.dll , secur32.dll , 
wkscli.dll file extensions.  The software does not specify the fully qualified 
path to a dynamic-linked libraries (Linkinfo.dll , mpr.dll , netutils.dll , 
secur32.dll , wkscli.dll).  The vulnerable version affects the Wise-FTP v8.0.2 
software. The security risk of the local file include vulnerability is 
estimated 
as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 6.0.
