Echo: wget: security update to 1.25.0-2+e2

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 464773

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- GNU Wget does not validate the IP address provided by an FTP PASV response while operating in FTP passive
mode. A malicious FTP server, or an HTTP server that redirects to an FTP URL, can exploit this behavior to
redirect Wget’s data connection to an arbitrary IP address and port. This allows an attacker to forge
server-side requests (SSRF) from the machine running Wget, potentially accessing localhost services or
internal network resources. (CVE-2026-15146)

Solution

Update the wget library and its related packages to version 1.25.0-2+e2 or later.
