CVE-2026-60105
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedMonsta FTP before 2.14.5 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the fetchRemoteFile action caused by an incomplete IP blocklist check in the isBlockedIP() function, which fails to detect embedded IPv4 addresses within IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. An unauthenticated attacker can obtain a CSRF token from the public getSystemVars endpoint and submit a fetchRemoteFile request with a source URL resolving to an IPv4-mapped address, causing the server to issue HTTP requests to internal services and write responses to an attacker-controlled FTP destination, enabling retrieval of cloud instance metadata credentials.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceMonsta FTP before 2.14.5 has an SSRF vulnerability in the fetchRemoteFile action where the isBlockedIP() function fails to detect IPv4 addresses embedded in IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (e.g., ::ffff:192.168.1.1). Attackers obtain a CSRF token from the public getSystemVars endpoint, then use fetchRemoteFile to make the server request internal URLs that resolve to these mapped IPv4 addresses, enabling access to cloud metadata services.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check Monsta FTP versionLocate the version number in the software (typically in the footer, about page, or version file in the installation directory). Compare it to the affected range: any version before 2.14.5 is vulnerable.Affected if The installed version is below 2.14.5 (e.g., 2.14.4, 2.14.0, 2.10.x, etc.)
-
Confirm fetchRemoteFile action is enabledVerify that the fetchRemoteFile action is accessible in the Monsta FTP application. This is typically found in the file transfer or remote download features accessible to authenticated users.Affected if fetchRemoteFile action is available and accessible to users (no disabled/enabled toggle found in public documentation, so this is the default state)
-
Verify network accessibility to internal servicesCheck if the server running Monsta FTP has network access to internal resources (e.g., localhost, 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, cloud metadata endpoints like 169.254.169.254) that could be targeted via the SSRF.Affected if The Monsta FTP server can make outbound HTTP/HTTPS requests to internal network addresses or cloud metadata services
-
Confirm getSystemVars endpoint is accessibleVerify the getSystemVars public endpoint exists and returns a CSRF token without authentication. This is required for attackers to forge requests.Affected if The getSystemVars endpoint is publicly accessible and returns a valid CSRF token that can be harvested
You are affected if you run any Monsta FTP version before 2.14.5 and the fetchRemoteFile feature is accessible to users who can obtain a CSRF token from the getSystemVars endpoint.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to Monsta FTP 2.14.5 or later, which includes proper validation of IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses in the isBlockedIP() function to prevent SSRF bypasses.
Monsta FTP 2.14.5
- Confirm the current Monsta FTP installation version by accessing the admin interface or checking the application's version file
- Download Monsta FTP version 2.14.5 or later from the official vendor website (www.monstaftp.com)
- Before upgrading, backup the current installation including configuration files, user data, and database if applicable
- Deploy version 2.14.5 following the vendor's standard upgrade procedure
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the new version number in the admin interface
- Test that the fetchRemoteFile functionality works correctly with normal URLs
- Confirm that the isBlockedIP() function now properly blocks IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (e.g., ::ffff:192.168.1.1)
