CVE-2026-67192

What's the vulnerability?

Xlight FTP Server before 3.9.5 contains a pre-authentication stack buffer overflow vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to corrupt stack memory by sending malformed SSH packets when a GCM cipher is negotiated. Attackers can craft packets with an unvalidated length field passed directly to the GCM decrypt function, overwriting the stack cookie and return address to potentially achieve remote code execution before any authentication occurs.

Recommended remediation

  1. Inventory all assets running the affected vendor and product, including shadow IT and third-party hosted instances.
  2. Apply the vendor patch or mitigation referenced in the advisories below. Where no patch exists, isolate the asset or restrict network exposure.
  3. Hunt for indicators of prior compromise — exploitation of this class of bug often predates public disclosure.
  4. Deploy detections for the exploit primitives (network signature, EDR rule, WAF rule) and re-test after remediation.
