MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated session with high privileges (CVSS PR:H) and access to the MOVEit Transfer Custom Reports module - this specific module is the required feature/attack surface, so deployments where report functionality is unused or restricted to a small admin set face reduced exposure. The vulnerable versions are MOVEit Transfer before 2025.1.6 and 2026.0.0 through 2026.0.3 (fixed in 2026.0.4); other branches are not in scope. Limiting factors: attacker must already possess administrative/high-privilege access, which is the principal barrier; no user interaction is needed and the service is network-reachable, so an exposed internet-facing instance combined with a compromised privileged credential is the realistic risk condition. |
| Impact | This is a credible but conditional priority rather than a drop-everything emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 7.2 HIGH) describes network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation with no user interaction, but PR:H means the attacker must already hold high (administrative) privileges within MOVEit Transfer, which sharply limits the pool of viable attackers and is the dominant mitigating factor. All three impact dimensions are High, consistent with SQL injection (CWE-89) yielding full read/write to backend data. No EPSS score was supplied, the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, and no public exploit or POC was referenced, so by the precision rules this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' A key tension to flag: MOVEit Transfer has a notorious history of mass exploitation (the 2023 Clop/CVE-2023-34362 campaign), and the vendor labels its bulletin 'Critical,' yet the actual metrics here (PR:H, no KEV, no POC, no EPSS) point to a far narrower, post-authentication risk than the unauthenticated 2023 flaw. Treat vendor 'Critical' framing and the 7.2 HIGH base score as a prompt for prompt patching of an internet-exposed enterprise product, not as evidence of active mass exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained a high-privilege MOVEit Transfer account (for example a compromised administrator credential or an insider) accesses the Custom Reports module and submits crafted input that is unsafely concatenated into an SQL query. This lets them read, modify, or destroy transfer metadata and stored data in the backend database. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires existing high privileges, so this is not a drive-by remote-unauthenticated attack. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
SQL injection in the Custom Reports module of Progress MOVEit Transfer lets a high-privileged authenticated user inject arbitrary SQL into report queries, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the managed file transfer database; affected releases are those before 2025.1.6 and 2026.0.0 through 2026.0.3. The attack vector is network-reachable with no user interaction required, but the CVSS vector (PR:H) shows the attacker must already hold an administrative or otherwise highly privileged session with access to the Custom Reports feature, which is the principal barrier to exploitation. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and this CVE is not confirmed actively exploited (no CISA KEV listing); the practical risk condition is an internet-facing MOVEit Transfer instance combined with a compromised privileged credential.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to MOVEit Transfer 2025.1.6 on the 2025.1 branch or to 2026.0.4 on the 2026.0 branch - these are the exact fix versions identified in the vendor data, and the September 2026 Progress security bulletin at https://community.progress.com/s/article/MOVEit-Transfer-Critical-Security-Bulletin---September-2026 provides the download and upgrade guidance. Until the upgrade is applied, the highest-value compensating controls follow directly from the attack prerequisites: restrict the Custom Reports module to the smallest possible set of trusted administrator accounts (trade-off: reduced reporting capability for other staff who currently rely on it), disable or unexpose the reporting functionality on internet-facing instances where it is not operationally required (trade-off: loss of ad-hoc reporting until the patch is applied), and inventory and tightly limit high-privilege MOVEit Transfer accounts, removing stale or shared admin credentials, since PR:H means a compromised privileged session is the realistic pre-condition for exploitation (trade-off: administrative overhead and potential disruption to service accounts and automation). Additional hardening with lower operational cost includes allowlisting administrative access to trusted management networks or VPN rather than the public internet, enabling verbose database and application logging focused on Custom Reports activity and reviewing it for anomalous SQL patterns, and rotating credentials and reviewing database-level permissions for the account the application uses. Because there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV confirmation, remediation can be scheduled on a normal risk-based cadence, but exposed instances with broad administrative access should be prioritized.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-89, improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, localized in the Custom Reports module of Progress MOVEit Transfer, a managed file transfer platform widely deployed for secure exchange of sensitive files. The vulnerability class means user-controllable input reaches a SQL query without adequate parameterization or escaping, so SQL syntax supplied by the caller is interpreted by the backend database rather than treated as data. The provided CPE (cpe:2.3:a:progress:moveit_transfer:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) identifies the affected product family as MOVEit Transfer across the version ranges noted in the advisory, and the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates a low-complexity, network-reachable attack that requires a privileged account, needs no user interaction, does not cross a security scope boundary, and yields high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability - consistent with read and write access to the database content reachable by the application's database account, rather than assumed operating-system or host compromise. Because the Custom Reports module is the specific required attack surface, instances where reporting is unused or restricted to a small set of administrators present a materially smaller exposure profile.

Lifecycle Timeline

Improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command ('SQL injection') vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer (Custom Reports module).
This issue affects MOVEit Transfer: before 2025.1.6 and from 2026.0.0 before 2026.0.4.
Executive ViewAI
Progress MOVEit Transfer, the managed file transfer platform many organizations use to exchange sensitive data with partners and customers, carries an unpatched high-severity SQL injection flaw in its Custom Reports module that can expose, alter, or destroy records in the underlying MFT database. Exploitation is gated by a significant precondition: the attacker must already hold a highly privileged or administrative MOVEit session with access to Custom Reports, so realistic exposure is concentrated in organizations running internet-facing instances where privileged credentials have been compromised, reused, or left without strong authentication. Leadership should care because these systems typically hold regulated and confidential business data, and because no vendor fix is yet available the risk can only be managed through tightened privileged access, reduced exposure, and monitoring.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict or disable the Custom Reports module for non-essential accounts; enforce phishing-resistant MFA and rotate credentials for all privileged MOVEit accounts; remove internet exposure of administrative interfaces via network segmentation, VPN, or zero-trust proxy; apply least-privilege reduction of highly privileged accounts; enable and monitor database/application logging with alerting for anomalous report queries and off-hours admin activity; and apply vendor workarounds from the Progress advisory once published.
