CVE-2026-27699 (GCVE-0-2026-27699)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-02-25 14:58 – Updated: 2026-02-27 17:04

Title

Basic FTP has Path Traversal Vulnerability in its downloadToDir() method

Summary

The `basic-ftp` FTP client library for Node.js contains a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in versions prior to 5.2.0 in the `downloadToDir()` method. A malicious FTP server can send directory listings with filenames containing path traversal sequences (`../`) that cause files to be written outside the intended download directory. Version 5.2.0 patches the issue.

Severity ?

9.1 (Critical)


                        
                          CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H

CWE

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-25 22:34 – Updated: 2026-02-25 22:34

Summary

Basic FTP has Path Traversal Vulnerability in its downloadToDir() method

Details

The basic-ftp library contains a path traversal vulnerability in the downloadToDir() method. A malicious FTP server can send directory listings with filenames containing path traversal sequences (../) that cause files to be written outside the intended download directory.

Source-to-Sink Flow

1. SOURCE: FTP server sends LIST response
└─> "-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 1024 Jan 20 12:00 ../../../etc/passwd"

2. PARSER: parseListUnix.ts:100 extracts filename
└─> file.name = "../../../etc/passwd"

3. VALIDATION: parseListUnix.ts:101 checks
└─> if (name === "." || name === "..") ❌ (only filters exact matches)
└─> "../../../etc/passwd" !== "." && !== ".." ✅ PASSES

4. SINK: Client.ts:707 uses filename directly
└─> const localPath = join(localDirPath, file.name)
└─> join("/safe/download", "../../../etc/passwd")
└─> Result: "/safe/download/../../../etc/passwd" → resolves to "/etc/passwd"

5. FILE WRITE: Client.ts:512 opens file
└─> fsOpen(localPath, "w") → writes to /etc/passwd (outside intended directory)

Vulnerable Code

File: src/Client.ts:707

protected async _downloadFromWorkingDir(localDirPath: string): Promise<void> {
await ensureLocalDirectory(localDirPath)
for (const file of await this.list()) {
const localPath = join(localDirPath, file.name) // ⚠️ VULNERABLE
// file.name comes from untrusted FTP server, no sanitization
await this.downloadTo(localPath, file.name)
}
}

Root Cause: - Parser validation (parseListUnix.ts:101) only filters exact . or .. entries - No sanitization of ../ sequences in filenames - path.join() doesn't prevent traversal, fs.open() resolves paths

Impact

A malicious FTP server can: - Write files to arbitrary locations on the client filesystem - Overwrite critical system files (if user has write access) - Potentially achieve remote code execution

Affected Versions

Tested: v5.1.0
Likely: All versions (code pattern exists since initial implementation)

Mitigation

Workaround: Do not use downloadToDir() with untrusted FTP servers.

Fix: Sanitize filenames before use:

import { basename } from 'path'

// In _downloadFromWorkingDir:

  "details": "The `basic-ftp`\u00a0library contains a path traversal vulnerability in the `downloadToDir()`\u00a0method. A malicious FTP server can send directory listings with filenames containing path traversal sequences (`../`) that cause files to be written outside the intended download directory.\n\n\n## Source-to-Sink Flow\n\n```\n1. SOURCE: FTP server sends LIST response\n\u2514\u2500\u003e \"-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 1024 Jan 20 12:00 ../../../etc/passwd\"\n\n2. PARSER: parseListUnix.ts:100 extracts filename\n\u2514\u2500\u003e file.name = \"../../../etc/passwd\"\n\n3. VALIDATION: parseListUnix.ts:101 checks\n\u2514\u2500\u003e if (name === \".\" || name === \"..\") \u274c (only filters exact matches)\n\u2514\u2500\u003e \"../../../etc/passwd\" !== \".\" \u0026\u0026 !== \"..\" \u2705 PASSES\n\n4. SINK: Client.ts:707 uses filename directly\n\u2514\u2500\u003e const localPath = join(localDirPath, file.name)\n\u2514\u2500\u003e join(\"/safe/download\", \"../../../etc/passwd\")\n\u2514\u2500\u003e Result: \"/safe/download/../../../etc/passwd\" \u2192 resolves to \"/etc/passwd\"\n\n5. FILE WRITE: Client.ts:512 opens file\n\u2514\u2500\u003e fsOpen(localPath, \"w\") \u2192 writes to /etc/passwd (outside intended directory)\n```\n\n## Vulnerable Code\n\n**File**: `src/Client.ts:707`\n\n```typescript\nprotected async _downloadFromWorkingDir(localDirPath: string): Promise\u003cvoid\u003e\u00a0{\nawait ensureLocalDirectory(localDirPath)\nfor\u00a0(const file of await\u00a0this.list()) {\nconst localPath = join(localDirPath, file.name) // \u26a0\ufe0f VULNERABLE\n// file.name comes from untrusted FTP server, no sanitization\nawait this.downloadTo(localPath, file.name)\n}\n}\n```\n\n**Root Cause**:\n-\u00a0Parser validation (`parseListUnix.ts:101`) only filters exact `.`\u00a0or `..`\u00a0entries\n-\u00a0No sanitization of `../`\u00a0sequences in filenames\n- `path.join()`\u00a0doesn\u0027t prevent traversal, `fs.open()`\u00a0resolves paths\n\n\n# Impact\n\nA malicious FTP server can:\n-\u00a0Write files to arbitrary locations on the client filesystem\n-\u00a0Overwrite critical system files (if user has write access)\n-\u00a0Potentially achieve remote code execution\n\n## Affected Versions\n\n- **Tested**: v5.1.0\n- **Likely**: All versions (code pattern exists since initial implementation)\n\n## Mitigation\n\n**Workaround**: Do not use `downloadToDir()`\u00a0with untrusted FTP servers.\n\n**Fix**: Sanitize filenames before use:\n\n```typescript\nimport\u00a0{ basename\u00a0} from \u0027path\u0027\n\n// In _downloadFromWorkingDir:\nconst sanitizedName = basename(file.name) // Strip path components\nconst localPath = join(localDirPath, sanitizedName)\n```",
