CVE-2026-116844 Details
Description
Fclairamb ftpserverlib through 0.32.4 contains a cleartext transmission vulnerability because TransferOpen checks only the transferTLS flag set by PROT, not whether the prepared data connection uses TLS. When a client sends PROT P after PASV or PORT, file contents and directory listings cross the network unencrypted, even with mandatory encryption, letting on-path attackers read or modify them.
A cleartext transmission vulnerability has been identified in Fclairamb FTPServerlib versions through 0.32.4. The issue arises because the TransferOpen function only verifies the transferTLS flag set by the PROT command, without checking if the actual data connection is encrypted. As a result, when a client sends PROT P after initiating a passive (PASV) or active (PORT) transfer, file contents and directory listings are transmitted unencrypted across the network. This vulnerability allows on-path attackers to intercept or modify the data, even when encryption is supposedly required.
Users can update to the latest version of Fclairamb FTPServerlib, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
