How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 fex to version 20110610-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream fex package and not the fex package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Frams's Fast File EXchange (F*EX, aka fex) 20100208, and possibly other versions before 20110610, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and upload arbitrary files via a request that lacks an authentication ID.
