CVE-2000-0084

Summary

CVE-2000-0084 is a vulnerability affecting CuteFTP, an FTP client. The issue stems from the software's use of weak encryption for storing password information in its tree.dat file. This means that an attacker who gains access to this file can easily retrieve the stored passwords. As a result, unauthorized users may obtain sensitive information, such as login credentials, potentially leading to data breaches or unauthorized access to vulnerable systems. Users are advised to secure their tree.dat files or consider using alternative FTP clients with stronger encryption methods.
