Description:
Konstantin Gavrilenko has reported a security issue in NcFTP Client, which exposes the username and password to other local users.

The problem is that usernames and passwords included in a "ftp://user:pass@site/" URL aren't obfuscated. This allows malicious, local users to see other users' passwords using a utility like "ps".

The issue has been reported in versions 3.1.7 and prior.
