CVE-2026-8328
FTP PASV SSRF, ftpcp() does not use actual peer address, trusts server-supplied PASV host address
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.

Solution
Update Lib/ftplib.py to correctly handle PASV host addresses and prevent SSRF.
  • Update the ftplib.py library.
  • Ensure ftpcp() uses peer address, not raw IP.
  • Verify the makepasv() patch is applied correctly.
  • Test the ftplib module for vulnerabilities.
