Progress MOVEit Transfer vulnerability
Progress MOVEit Transfer contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability allowing attackers to access the database, infer its structure, and execute arbitrary SQL commands to alter or delete data.
Verdict
Today item, not a backlog item.
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit SQL injection to compromise MOVEit Transfer's database integrity and confidentiality without credentials. The high EPSS score and active exploitation in ransomware campaigns indicate immediate risk.

01
Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreExploit available
Fully weaponized — public exploit code is cataloged for this vulnerability.We link the existence of the exploit; we do not host or redistribute payloads.
Reported exploitation
116 independent public reports of in-the-wild exploitation are cataloged.Distinct reporting sources (vendor, incident response, government); open them for the underlying claims.
Exploited in the wild
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2023-06-02), flagged for known ransomware use.
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.99934 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
Affected: Progress, MOVEit Transfer. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-89 SQL Injection — weakness family: Injection.CWE assignment from the public NVD record; the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.
02
Who’s exploiting it?
— attribution turns risk into urgencyAttribution not established
No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.
03
Why it matters
— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board1
Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1
Attacker
I craft malicious SQL payloads in MOVEit Transfer requests to bypass authentication and access the database directly.
Business
Attackers gain unauthorized database access without valid credentials, bypassing all authentication controls.
2
Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2
Attacker
I execute SQL queries to enumerate database structure, user accounts, and sensitive data stored in MOVEit Transfer.
Business
Confidential information including user credentials and file metadata is exposed to threat actors.
3
Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3
Attacker
I modify or delete database records to alter file transfer logs, user permissions, or system configurations.
Business
Data integrity is compromised, audit trails are destroyed, and system functionality is disrupted.
4
Data at risk — exfiltration narrative 4
Attacker
I extract credentials and access tokens from the database to establish persistent access or pivot to other systems.
Business
Attackers establish long-term presence and expand compromise across the organization's infrastructure.
5
Lights out — disruption & extortion narrative 5
Attacker
I encrypt or exfiltrate files managed by MOVEit Transfer to execute ransomware extortion.
Business
Critical file transfer operations are disrupted and the organization faces financial extortion demands.
04
What to do
— defensible action- Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
