Loading vulnerability…
Open&Compact FTP Server (Open-FTPD) 1.2 and earlier fails to enforce the required FTP login workflow before processing file-operation commands. A remote client can send commands such as LIST, RETR, and STOR without first completing authentication, bypassing the server's intended authentication control.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (open_ftpd_wbem.rb) that exploits multiple vulnerabilities in Open&Compact FTP 1.2 running on Windows systems prior to Vista. The exploit leverages an authentication bypass and arbitrary file upload vulnerability to write files to the target's filesystem. It uploads a malicious Windows executable payload to the system32 directory and a MOF file to the wbem/mof directory, which triggers WMI to execute the payload, resulting in remote code execution. The module is operational, providing a working exploit with a customizable payload. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the FTP service. The module is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit, with options for configuring the upload path and listener port. The exploit targets CVE-2010-2620 and is effective against Open&Compact FTP 1.2 on Windows XP and similar systems.
