basic-ftp is an FTP client for Node.js. Versions prior to 5.3.0 are vulnerable to denial of service through unbounded memory growth while processing directory listings from a remote FTP server. A malicious or compromised server can send an extremely large or never-ending listing response to Client.list(), causing the client process to consume memory until it becomes unstable or crashes. Version 5.3.0 fixes the issue.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in basic-ftp for Node.js allows remote malicious FTP servers to crash client applications via unbounded memory consumption during directory listing operations. Attackers controlling or compromising an FTP server can send infinite or extremely large listing responses to Client.list() calls, exhausting client memory until process termination. …
