XSS
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the mirrored server management interface in SurgeFTP 2.3a1 allows user-assisted, remote FTP servers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a malformed response without a status code, which is reflected to the user in the resulting error message. NOTE: this can be leveraged for root access via a sequence of steps involving web script that creates a new FTP user account.

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

NetWin Authentication module (NWAuth) 2.0 and 3.0b, as implemented in SurgeFTP, DMail, and possibly other packages, uses weak password hashing, which could allow local users to decrypt passwords or use a different password that has the same hash value as the correct password.

XSS
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in surgeftpmgr.cgi in NetWin SurgeFTP 2.3a6 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) domainid or (2) classid parameter in a class action.
