According to its banner, the installed version of Serv-U is a version prior to 15.3. It is, therefore, affected by an improper input validation vulnerability. The Serv-U web login screen to LDAP authentication was allowing characters that were not sufficiently sanitized.
SolarWinds has updated the input mechanism to perform additional validation and sanitization.
Please Note: No downstream effect has been detected as the LDAP servers ignored improper characters.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
