Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that the MOVEit Transfer AS2 module be enabled and network-reachable (typically an internet- or partner-facing AS2 endpoint used for business-to-business file exchange); the flaw is scoped specifically to that module, so instances without AS2 configured are not exposed. Per the CVSS vector no authentication (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N) is needed and complexity is low (AC:L), so once AS2 is exposed a remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger it against default-but-AS2-enabled configurations. The primary limiting factor is the non-default dependency on the AS2 module being active; impact is confined to availability/service degradation (A:H) with no confidentiality loss (C:N) and at most low integrity impact.

Impact

Multiple signals point to a moderate, availability-focused risk rather than a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack with high availability impact (A:H) and only low integrity impact (C:N/I:L), consistent with the CWE-400 Uncontrolled Resource Consumption / Denial-of-Service classification and the 'Denial Of Service' tag. SSVC-style reasoning: technical impact is partial (service availability, not full system compromise), and while the flaw is network-automatable in principle, exploitation is gated on the AS2 module being enabled. The EPSS score is low (0.48%, 40th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code was identified - so there is no evidence of active or imminent widespread exploitation. The I:L metric in the supplied vector is debatable for a pure resource-exhaustion bug (DoS typically maps to availability only); this is a minor inconsistency to verify with the vendor advisory. Net: a legitimately patch-worthy unauthenticated DoS in internet-facing file-transfer software, but current exploitation probability is low and it is not a drop-everything issue absent KEV/POC signals.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote, unauthenticated attacker reaches an internet-facing MOVEit Transfer instance with the AS2 module enabled and submits crafted AS2 traffic designed to consume excessive server resources. Sustained or repeated requests exhaust resources and degrade or deny service to legitimate file-transfer users. No public proof-of-concept exploit was identified at the time of analysis, and the low complexity (AC:L) means no special timing or race conditions are required once AS2 is exposed.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026

Unauthenticated remote denial-of-service in Progress MOVEit Transfer's AS2 module allows attackers to exhaust server resources, causing service unavailability. Affected versions are 2025.0.0 before 2025.0.3, 2024.1.0 before 2024.1.7, and 2023.1.0 before 2023.1.16. Exploitation requires the AS2 module to be enabled and network-reachable; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified, and EPSS is low at 0.48%, indicating a moderate availability risk rather than a top-tier emergency.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-released patches by upgrading to MOVEit Transfer 2025.0.3, 2024.1.7, or 2023.1.16 (or later). If the AS2 module is not required, disable it to eliminate exposure; this may disrupt B2B file exchange workflows relying on AS2. As a compensating control, restrict network access to AS2 endpoints to trusted partner IPs using firewall rules, and monitor for abnormal resource consumption. Refer to the Progress advisory at https://community.progress.com/s/article/MOVEit-Transfer-Vulnerability-CVE-2025-10932-October-29-2025 for detailed instructions. No workarounds are mentioned in the advisory, so patching is the primary fix.

Affected ProductsAI

Progress MOVEit Transfer versions 2025.0.0 prior to 2025.0.3, 2024.1.0 prior to 2024.1.7, and 2023.1.0 prior to 2023.1.16 are affected. The vulnerability is specifically in the AS2 module, so only deployments where the AS2 module is enabled and network-reachable are vulnerable. The vendor advisory is available at https://community.progress.com/s/article/MOVEit-Transfer-Vulnerability-CVE-2025-10932-October-29-2025.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) in the AS2 module of Progress MOVEit Transfer. The AS2 protocol (Applicability Statement 2) is used for secure business-to-business EDI data exchange over HTTP/S. The flaw allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to send crafted AS2 messages that trigger excessive resource consumption (e.g., CPU, memory, thread exhaustion) without proper limits or timeouts. The assessed CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) confirms network exploitable, low complexity, no authentication or user interaction, and high availability impact with no confidentiality or integrity impact. The AS2 module is optional and must be configured; instances without AS2 enabled are not exposed. No CPE data was provided, but the affected versions are precisely listed.

DescriptionCVE.org

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer (AS2 module).This issue affects MOVEit Transfer: from 2025.0.0 before 2025.0.3, from 2024.1.0 before 2024.1.7, from 2023.1.0 before 2023.1.16.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Progress MOVEit Transfer's AS2 module contains a high-severity vulnerability that can be exploited remotely to cause a denial-of-service, rendering the service unavailable. Organizations using this component for critical file transfers face potential operational disruptions, impacting partner transactions and internal workflows. While no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the likelihood of exploitation is currently low, proactive mitigation is essential to maintain business continuity.

Business Impact: Medium
Compensating Controls

Disable the AS2 module if not essential; if required, restrict network access to trusted IPs and implement monitoring for resource exhaustion; enforce rate limiting and consider deploying a WAF or IDS/IPS with DoS protection.
