Database disclosure and modification via SQL injection
Published Sep 20, 2023 · Updated Feb 27, 2025
SQL injection in Progress MOVEit Transfer allows remote authenticated users with system-administrator access to read or modify its database. The web interface accepts a crafted administrator payload without neutralizing SQL syntax before a database operation; Progress has not disclosed the endpoint, parameter, or query. A MOVEit system-administrator account is required, and the bounded consequence is unauthorized disclosure or modification of MOVEit database content.
