CVE-2026-8328 is a server-side request forgery vulnerability in CPython's ftplib.ftpcp() function caused by incomplete remediation of CVE-2021-4189. The earlier fix changed makepasv() to replace server-supplied PASV host addresses with the FTP control connection's actual peer address. However, ftpcp() continues to call parse227() directly and passes the attacker-controlled host address and port to target.sendport(). An attacker-controlled FTP server can therefore influence the destination supplied in a PORT command, potentially inducing unintended network connections.
