CVE-2026-102727: FTP passive data connection not bound to authenticated control peer

CVE-2026-102727 · Severity: info · Published 2026-09-29

An FTP server implementation does not properly bind passive data connections to the authenticated control session, potentially allowing an attacker to intercept or hijack file transfers. This weakness could enable data exposure or man-in-the-middle attacks on FTP communications without requiring authentication to the control connection.

Technologies: Eclipse ThreadX NetX Duo. Vendors: Eclipse ThreadX.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a session binding weakness in FTP passive mode data transfer handling, where data connections are not cryptographically or logically tied to the authenticated control channel. An attacker on the network path can establish a data connection to the passive port without proving authentication on the control connection, potentially reading or modifying in-flight FTP transfers. Remediation would require explicit binding of passive data connections to their originating authenticated control session.
