What is CVE-2019-7230?

The ABB IDAL FTP Server is susceptible to an uncontrolled format string vulnerability during the authentication process. This issue can be triggered by supplying a specially crafted username that exploits format strings. For instance, a username formatted as %s%p%x%d can lead to a server crash, while an input like %08x.AAAA.%08x.%08x may expose sensitive memory content from the stack, potentially revealing critical information to attackers.
