AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable and low-complexity to replay, but CWE-613 requires the attacker to first obtain a leaked/stale session (modeled as UI:R); session reuse yields data/integrity access, not availability loss, so A:N.

Insufficient session expiration vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer.
This issue affects MOVEit Transfer: before 2025.1.5, from 2026.0.0 before 2026.0.3.
AnalysisAI
Session-handling weakness in Progress MOVEit Transfer (all builds before 2025.1.5, and 2026.0.0 before 2026.0.3) leaves sessions valid longer than they should be, so an attacker who obtains a still-active session token can access the managed file transfer application without re-authenticating. Progress rates this CVSS 9.8 with total technical impact, though the CWE-613 root cause makes the unauthenticated network vector worth verifying. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.18% (8th percentile).
Technical ContextAI
MOVEit Transfer is Progress Software's managed file transfer (MFT) platform used to move regulated and sensitive business data, exposed over HTTP(S) web and API interfaces. The flaw is classified CWE-613 (Insufficient Session Expiration): the application fails to invalidate or time out authenticated sessions promptly, meaning a session identifier that should be dead remains usable. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:progress:moveit_transfer, spanning the 0-to-2025.1.5 line and the 2026.0.0-to-2026.0.3 line. Because MFT platforms broker high-value file access, a reusable session directly translates into access to transferred files and administrative or user functions.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to MOVEit Transfer 2025.1.5 (for the pre-2025.1.5 line) or 2026.0.3 (for the 2026.0.x line), per Progress's Fixed Issues in 2026.0.3 release notes (https://docs.progress.com/bundle/moveit-transfer-release-notes-2026/page/Fixed-Issues-in-2026.0.3.html). Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting the MOVEit web/API interface to trusted networks or behind a VPN so stray session tokens cannot be reused from the internet (trade-off: breaks external partner access), shortening idle/absolute session timeouts and forcing global session invalidation/re-authentication of all active users if the configuration allows it (trade-off: users must log in again), and placing the app behind a WAF/reverse proxy that enforces its own session lifetime and terminates idle connections. Given the CWE-613 nature, also rotate/expire existing sessions and audit for reuse of old tokens after upgrading.
