CWE	CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
OWASP	A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level	Low
Impact Level	Low
Likelihood Level	Low

Description

The code is using 'URLopener.retrieve()' with an 'ftp://' URL, which transfers data without encryption. This means any data sent or received can be intercepted by attackers on the network.

Impact

Sensitive information such as credentials or files could be exposed to eavesdroppers during transfer. This puts user data and the application's security at risk, as attackers could steal or tamper with the transmitted information.
