CVE-2026-28295 Details
Description
A flaw was found in the FTP GVfs backend. A malicious FTP server can exploit this vulnerability by providing an arbitrary IP address and port in its passive mode (PASV) response. The client unconditionally trusts this information and attempts to connect to the specified endpoint, allowing the malicious server to probe for open ports accessible from the client's network.
A vulnerability exists in the FTP backend of GVfs, where the client blindly trusts the IP address and port provided by a malicious FTP server in its passive mode (PASV) response. This flaw allows the server to probe for open ports on the client's network. The issue arises because the GVfs FTP backend does not validate that the advertised IP matches the control connection or restrict private/internal addresses, enabling potential exploitation.
Users are advised to avoid connecting to untrusted or unknown FTP servers when using applications that rely on the GVfs FTP backend.
