CVE-2009-4194 is a directory traversal vulnerability in Golden FTP Server 4.30 Free and Professional, 4.50, and possibly other versions. The flaw affects handling of the FTP DELE command, where insufficient neutralization of path traversal sequences allows a remote authenticated user to supply dot-dot path elements and cause the server to resolve a pathname outside the intended FTP-accessible directory. By abusing traversal in the DELE command argument, an attacker can target and delete arbitrary files accessible to the server process rather than being limited to files within the authorized directory scope.
