Published: December 9, 2020 / Updated: October 28, 2023


Vulnerability identifier: #VU48893
CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CWE-ID: CWE-200
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the way cURL handles PASV responses. A remote attacker with control over malicious FTP server can use the PASV response to trick curl into connecting back to a given IP address and port, and this way potentially make curl extract information about services that are otherwise private and not disclosed, for example doing port scanning and service banner extractions.
