Wget, an open-source application in CentOS, discovers severe security vulnerabilities
Wget, an open-source application widely used in CentOS and Unix systems, has discovered a serious security vulnerability, allowing attackers to create arbitrary files and directories through FTP, and even rewrite the entire file system. This vulnerability was first reported to the GNU Wget project by HD Moore, Chief Research Officer of Rapid 7.

Unlike the previously widely publicized Heartbleed, ShellShock, POODLE, and Sandworm vulnerabilities, wget has no special nickname. The test program that uses the wget vulnerability has been released to confirm that wget 1.14 has a vulnerability.
