The FTP client does not properly sanitise filenames containing directory traversal sequences that are received from an FTP server, for example file named as "..\..\..\..\..\..\..\somefile.exe". By tricking a user to download a directory from a malicious FTP server that contains files with backslash directory traversal sequences in their filenames, an attacker can potentially write files into a user's Startup folder to execute malicious code when the user logs on. Solution: Upgrade to the most recent version
