https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2005-2898

NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor. FileZilla 2.2.14b and 2.2.15, and possibly earlier versions, when "Use secure mode" is disabled, uses a weak encryption scheme to store the user's password in the configuration settings file, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information. NOTE: the vendor has disputed the issue, stating that "the problem is not a vulnerability at all, but in fact a fundamental issue of every single program that can store passwords transparently. • https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/26220 http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1328 http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=112577523810442&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=112605448327521&w=2 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14730 https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/22135 •
