Summary
FTPServer.py in pyftpdlib before 0.2.0 does not increment the attempted_logins count for a USER command that specifies an invalid username, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack.
Exploit prediction (EPSS)
2.11% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 82% of all scored CVEs.
