CVE-2026-67193
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedXlight FTP Server before 3.9.5 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain the server's current GetTickCount() value by sending a USER command with a username ending in the :adm suffix. Attackers can trigger the admin protocol path within the standard FTP listener pre-authentication to leak timing information from the FTP 331 response without requiring a separate port or configuration change.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedXlight FTP Server 3.9.5 or later
- 1. Identify the currently installed version of Xlight FTP Server by checking the application or its configuration files
- 2. Download Xlight FTP Server version 3.9.5 or later from the official vendor website (www.xlightftpd.com)
- 3. Backup the current Xlight FTP Server configuration and data directory
- 4. Stop the Xlight FTP Server service
- 5. Install version 3.9.5 or later over the existing installation
- 6. Restart the Xlight FTP Server service
- 7. Verify the server is running and responding correctly to FTP connections
Generated from the published advisory — verify against the referenced sources before acting.
There is no version to upgrade to and no patch to apply. Every affected install stays exposed until the vendor ships a fix — or somebody else builds one.
Free. We build fixes in the order the community asks for them — and we’ll tell you the moment this one lands.
We develop and verify an original fix where the vendor hasn’t, from $1,600. Deployed to your staging first — never straight to production.
