  - vsftpd through 3.0.5 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in ssl_data_accept() that allows
    unauthenticated attackers to hijack FTPS data connections by resuming their own TLS session ticket.
    Attackers sharing the victim's source IP can obtain a ticket via AUTH TLS, then connect to the victim's
    PASV port to steal downloads or inject upload data. (CVE-2026-119568)
