Beast vulnerability found in Filezila

#1 Post by yellowrider03 » 2020-05-06 23:16

I'm posting to reach out if anyone has had an occurrence of the Beast vulnerability within the version 0.9.60beta showing up with an internal scan reflecting Negotiated cipher suite: AES256-SHA|TLSv1|Kx=RSA|Au=RSA|Enc=AES-CBC(256)|Mac=SHA1 off TLS port 990.

This is showing a vulnerability and I find no record to remediate this - I believe if AES 256 is turned off Filezilla will no longer work.

Any input will be much appreciated.

You can disable TLSv1 by setting the "Minimum TLS version" in FileZilla Server.xml to 1 or 2, to require at least TLSv1.1 or 1.2 respectively.

Thank you Tim, sorry to post on this reply I couldn't get this uploaded on the main page tried several browsers.

I am needing to migrate Filezilla server from one server to another, version is 0.9.60 beta. I have the same version preinstalled on the new server, I stopped all services, copied the Filezilla server.xml file over as well the cert then started the service on the new server. I see browse is greyed out, I’ve searched the forums and cannot find the solution could you please assist. I muchly would appreciate you…..

You must update to the most recent version of FileZilla, outdated versions are entirely unsupported.
