Wing FTP Server Information Disclosure via Error Messages (CVE-2025-47813)

Discovery Reconnaissance Last updated:

Detects potential exploitation of CVE-2025-47813, an information disclosure vulnerability in Wing FTP Server (CWE-209) where detailed error messages expose sensitive server-side information. This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild (CISA KEV). Attackers may probe the FTP server with malformed or unexpected requests to trigger verbose error responses revealing internal paths, software versions, configuration details, or stack traces.

Testing Methodology

Validate this detection against 3 adversary techniques from Atomic Red Team. Each test below lists the behaviour to exercise and the telemetry you should expect to see. Executable commands and cleanup steps are available with Pro.

  1. Test 1Trigger Wing FTP Server Verbose Error via Invalid Command

    Expected signal: Wing FTP Server access logs show connection from test host with invalid command responses. Network capture shows FTP control channel responses with error codes 500/502 and potentially verbose message bodies.

  2. Test 2Enumerate Wing FTP Server Version via Banner Grabbing and Error Probing

    Expected signal: Network logs show sequential FTP connections from test host. Wing FTP Server logs record failed auth attempts and invalid CWD commands with server-generated error responses.

  3. Test 3Simulate Automated Scanner Probing Wing FTP Server Error Responses

    Expected signal: Wing FTP Server logs show burst of varied FTP commands from single source IP including SYST, STAT, FEAT commands that reveal version/feature information, plus error responses to invalid path and command inputs.
