ProFTPD versions through 1.3.8b (before commit cec01cc) contain a vulnerability in the mod_sql module due to improper handling of supplemental groups. This flaw allows authenticated users without explicitly assigned supplemental groups to inherit root group privileges (GID 0), potentially granting unauthorized access to sensitive system resources.
