A vulnerability in enterprise file transfer solution CrushFTP is being exploited by attackers in a targeted fashion, according to Crowdstrike.
According to Censys, there are currently 9,600+ publicly-exposed CrushFTP hosts, mostly in North America and Europe.
CrushFTP sent out notices about CVE-2024-4040 to customers on Friday.
Customers still running CrushFTP v9 should upgrade to version v11.1.0.
Customers using a DMZ in front of their main CrushFTP instance are only partially protected.
These attacks against CrushFTP hosts seem to be reconnaissance efforts.
