CVE-2026-49486: Apache Airflow FTP provider: FTP Provider does not protect FTPS data channel (missing PROT_P)

June 26, 2026 (updated September 4, 2026)

The Apache Airflow FTP provider’s FTPSHook.get_conn() created an ftplib.FTP_TLS connection but never called prot_p(), so although the control channel was TLS-protected the data channel was transmitted in cleartext. Any deployment using FTPSHook or FTPSFileTransmitOperator to move files over FTPS exposed file contents and credentials-in-transit to a network attacker able to observe the data connection. Upgrade apache-airflow-providers-ftp to 3.15.1 or later, which issues PROT P to encrypt the data channel.
