CVE-2008-4247 describes a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in ftpd implementations across OpenBSD 4.3, FreeBSD 7.0, NetBSD 4.0, and Solaris. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary FTP commands by crafting a long ftp:// URI, which the server misinterprets as multiple commands when processed by a web browser's FTP client. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its low attack complexity and potential for partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an exploit demonstrating long command handling issues is available on ExploitDB, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
