CVE-2023-34362: Progress MOVEit Transfer SQL Injection Vulnerability
What it is
Progress MOVEit Transfer contains a SQL injection vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to gain unauthorized 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 in addition to executing SQL statements that alter or delete database elements.

What to do now
- Find every instance of MOVEit Transfer you run, including the forgotten ones, and check its version against the vendor advisory.
- Apply the vendor's fix or mitigation, before June 23, 2023 if you are bound by CISA's deadline, sooner if it faces the internet.
- Assume it was tried against you already: look for signs of exploitation from the date it was added, not from the day you patched.
- Until every instance is patched, block the attack at the edge: a WAF in blocking mode stops SQL injection attempts.

Block it at the edge while you patch
The Dome's WAF runs the OWASP Core Rule Set in blocking mode and stops SQL injection attempts before they reach your application.
