Progress MOVEit Transfer SQL Injection Vulnerability
Progress · MOVEit Transfer
Summary
A SQL injection flaw in Progress MOVEit Transfer's web application affects all versions prior to the patched releases (including 2021.0.6, 2021.1.4, 2022.0.4, 2022.1.5 and 2023.0.1, and older unsupported versions). An unauthenticated remote attacker can reach the database over HTTP or HTTPS with no user interaction, and can infer its structure and contents or run SQL statements that alter or delete data, depending on whether the backend is MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server or Azure SQL.
Official description · NVD
In Progress MOVEit Transfer before 2021.0.6 (13.0.6), 2021.1.4 (13.1.4), 2022.0.4 (14.0.4), 2022.1.5 (14.1.5), and 2023.0.1 (15.0.1), a SQL injection vulnerability has been found in the MOVEit Transfer web application that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to gain access to MOVEit Transfer's database. Depending on the database engine being used (MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Azure SQL), an attacker may be able to infer information about the structure and contents of the database, and execute SQL statements that alter or delete database elements. NOTE: this is exploited in the wild in May and June 2023; exploitation of unpatched systems can occur via HTTP or HTTPS. All versions (e.g., 2020.0 and 2019x) before the five explicitly mentioned versions are affected, including older unsupported versions.
