unauthorized client 'root"

Post by macaroni7 »

On my core FTP server, v1.2 build 581 I happened to open the GUI and found 3 FTP clients connected and not authorized. (we have virtually no traffic so they were easy to spot).

One was "root" and two others were named ",00:00:01" -- the IP address originated in China somehwere.

We don't have a "root" account -- or is there one by default? With a default password or something that I was supposed to change during setup? Seems like there is a vulnerability, no?

Thanks for any input!

they aren't actually logging in, you are just seeing the account they are attempting to log in with.
