info:
  name: CrushFTP - Authentication Bypass
  author: parthmalhotra,Ice3man,DhiyaneshDk,pdresearch,whattheslime
  severity: critical
  description: |
    CrushFTP versions 10.0.0 through 10.8.3 and 11.0.0 through 11.3.0 are affected by a vulnerability that may result in unauthenticated access. Remote and unauthenticated HTTP requests to CrushFTP may allow attackers to gain unauthorized access.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication by forging session cookies, gaining unauthorized administrative access to CrushFTP and potentially compromising the entire file transfer infrastructure.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to CrushFTP version 10.8.4 or 11.3.1 or later that properly validates session authentication.
