The vulnerability was supposed to give non root access using the proftpd backdoor for 1.3.3. It gave root access every time I tested it, even after checking the permissions and that it was running as the ftp user. Looking online, it mentions that the exploit runs as root, which makes it difficult. The decision was made to remove the non-root scenario and the module entirely, keeping the scenario that grants root access.
