Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • A structured source references public exploit or proof-of-concept material.
  • The selected CVSS metric records a network-reachable, unauthenticated path with no user interaction.
  • EPSS is 81.47% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Apply the linked authoritative mitigation while planning the permanent fix.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Increase monitoring for the attack path and post-exploitation behaviour described in the report.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Progress MOVEit Transfer and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Recheck the vendor advisory before scheduling a change because no verified fixed version is currently retained.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 3 daysRemediation target: Within 90 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

What, why and how

Improper Authentication vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer (SFTP module) can lead to Authentication Bypass.This issue affects MOVEit Transfer: from 2023.0.0 before 2023.0.11, from 2023.1.0 before 2023.1.6, from 2024.0.0 before 2024.0.2.

What

Improper Authentication vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer (SFTP module) can lead to Authentication Bypass.This issue affects MOVEit Transfer: from 2023.0.0 before 2023.0.11, from 2023.1.0 before 2023.1.6, from 2024.0.0 before 2024.0.2.

Why

The affected component does not establish the requesting party's identity reliably before granting access.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may bypass an access boundary or take over an account.

02

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

CISA Vulnrichment records proof-of-concept exploitation in its SSVC data. BlackTree has not independently executed or validated exploit material.

Likely attack path

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-287 ↗

CWE-287: Improper Authentication. When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2024-0267Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Progress MOVEit

De kwetsbaarheden bevinden zich in de SFTP-module van de betreffende applicaties en stellen een kwaadwillende in staat om authenticatie te omzeilen en zo zonder voorafgaande authenticatie toegang te krijgen tot de bestanden die via de SFTP-dienst worden vrijgegeven. Tijdens het onderzoek is een kwetsbaarheid ontdekt in een niet nader benoemde Third-Party component, dat in gebruik is bij MOVEit Transfer. Voor deze kwetsbaarheid is (nog) geen update beschikbaar. Wel zijn mitigerende maatregelen gepubliceerd om het risico op misbruik weg te nemen tot de update beschikbaar is. Deze kwetsbaarheid is niet aanwezig in MOVEit Gateway, omdat MOVEit Gateway geen gebruik maakt van deze Third-Party component.
