CVE-2026-8328

MEDIUMCVSS 5.9/10EPSS 0.40%

Last modified

CVE-2026-8328 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.9/10 on the CVSS scale. 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(). EPSS estimates a 0.40% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
