MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On Tuesday, Progress Software disclosed CVE-2024-5806, a vulnerability that enables attackers to bypass authentication and gain access to sensitive data.
A deep-dive technical analysis by researchers with the offensive security firm watchTowr Labs said that the vulnerability, found in the MOVEit SFTP module, can be exploited in at least two attack scenarios.
It works by manipulating SSH public key paths to execute a “forced authentication” using a malicious SMB server and a valid username.
The researchers said that the requirements of uploading a public key to a vulnerable server isn’t a particularly high hurdle for attackers to clear, because the entire purpose of MOVEit is to transfer files.
The Progress Software advisory said: “A newly identified vulnerability in a third-party component used in MOVEit Transfer elevates the risk of the original issue mentioned above if left unpatched.
While the patch distributed by Progress on June 11th successfully remediates the issue identified in CVE-2024-5806, this newly disclosed third-party vulnerability introduces new risk.”
