In short

CrushFTP versions before 10.8.5 and 11.3.4_23 have a flaw in how they validate AS2 (a secure file transfer protocol) when the DMZ proxy feature is disabled, allowing attackers to gain administrator access over HTTPS without proper authentication.

CrushFTP improperly validates AS2 requests when DMZ proxy is not enabled, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms and obtain administrative privileges via HTTPS. The vulnerability affects versions 10.x before 10.8.5 and 11.x before 11.3.4_23, with active exploitation observed in July 2025.
