- Summary
- Server-Side Request Forgery in ftp-srv
- Details
-
Background
The FTP protocol creates two connections, one for commands and one for transferring data. This second data connection can be created in two ways, on the server by sending the PASV command, or on the client by sending the PORT command.
The PORT command sends the IP and port for the server to connect to the client with.
Issue
Since the client can send an arbitrary IP with the PORT command, this can be used to cause the server to make a connection elsewhere.
Patches
- fix: disallow PORT connections to alternate hosts: e449e75219d918c400dec65b4b0759f60476abca
Deprecation notices have been published for older versions.
Workarounds
Blacklisting the FTP Command
PORTwill prevent the server from exposing this behaviour through active connections until a fix is applied.const ftp = new FtpSrv({ blacklist: ['PORT'] });References
