CVE-2026-63045Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Third-party connection via unvalidated FTP PASV address

Published Oct 1, 2026 · Updated Oct 1, 2026

Server-side request forgery in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.0 through 2.4.68 allows remote attackers to induce third-party TCP connections via FTP proxying. In mod_proxy_ftp, the proxy accepts an untrusted FTP server's PASV reply address without adequately validating it and uses that address for the FTP data connection. Exposure requires an FTP forward-proxy configuration and an attacker-controlled FTP destination; the established consequence is an outbound connection, not arbitrary data access.
