CVE-2026-126346
Published:November 12, 2026
Updated:November 13, 2026
basic-ftp is an FTP client for Node.js. Prior to 6.2.3, FTPContext.send() throws when a command contains carriage return, line feed, or NUL characters, but calls made from response handlers execute synchronously inside the control socket's data event without an exception boundary. In Client.login(), an attacker-influenced password reaches the PASS command after a server sends a 331 response, and in a resumed download an attacker-influenced remote path reaches the RETR command after a 350 response to REST. The resulting exception does not reject client.access() or downloadTo(), escapes ordinary promise error handling, and terminates the Node.js process, while the validation guard still prevents command injection. This issue is fixed in version 6.2.3.
