CVE-2007-6737: Improper Authentication in pyftpdlib

May 1, 2022 (updated October 21, 2024)

FTPServer.py in pyftpdlib before 0.2.0 does not increment the attempted_logins count for a USER command that specifies an invalid username, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack.
