AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, restrict access to FTP services to trusted users and monitor for suspicious FTP command usage. Avoid exposing IBM i FTP services to untrusted networks.

Description

IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions and access internal network services due to improper validation of FTP PORT and EPRT commands.
