CVE-2026-8328

FTP PASV SSRF, ftpcp() does not use actual peer address, trusts server-supplied PASV host address

Published May 13, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.9 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The ftpcp() function in Lib/ftplib.py was not updated when
CVE-2021-4189 was fixed. While makepasv() was patched to replace
server-supplied PASV host addresses with the actual peer address
(getpeername()[0]), ftpcp() still calls parse227() directly and passes
the raw attacker-controllable IP address and port to target.sendport(). This patch is related to CVE-2021-4189.
