Description

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a traditional and widely used standard tool for transferring files between a server and clients over a network, especially where no authentication is necessary (permits anonymous users to connect to a server).

The ftp package can be removed with the following command:


$ sudo yum erase ftp

Rationale

FTP does not protect the confidentiality of data or authentication credentials. It is recommended SFTP be used if file transfer is required. Unless there is a need to run the system as a FTP server (for example, to allow anonymous downloads), it is recommended that the package be removed to reduce the potential attack surface.

Remediation

Shell script

The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

#!/bin/bash

# CAUTION: This remediation script will remove ftp
#	   from the system, and may remove any packages
#	   that depend on ftp. Execute this
#	   remediation AFTER testing on a non-production
#	   system!

if rpm -q --quiet "ftp" ; then

    yum remove -y "ftp"

fi
