CORS abuse is browser-mediated so UI:R; attacker's origin is unauthenticated (PR:N) but leverages victim session; impact is mainly confidentiality (C:H), minor integrity (I:L), no availability effect.

Permissive cross-domain security policy with untrusted domains vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer.
This issue affects MOVEit Transfer: before 2025.1.5, from 2026.0.0 before 2026.0.3.
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in Progress MOVEit Transfer (all versions before 2025.1.5, and 2026.0.0 before 2026.0.3) stems from an overly permissive cross-domain (CORS) security policy that trusts untrusted origins, allowing a malicious website to read sensitive responses from an authenticated victim's MOVEit session. The vendor rates it CVSS 9.8, though the underlying weakness (CWE-942) and vendor tags point squarely at cross-origin data leakage rather than direct server compromise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.18% (8th percentile).
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is Progress MOVEit Transfer, a widely used managed file transfer (MFT) server for securely exchanging sensitive business files over HTTP/HTTPS. The root cause is CWE-942 (Permissive Cross-domain Policy with Untrusted Domains): the application's CORS configuration reflects or whitelists untrusted origins in Access-Control-Allow-Origin (often combined with Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true), so a browser will permit cross-origin JavaScript from an attacker-controlled domain to issue credentialed requests to the MOVEit web interface and read the responses. The single CPE in scope is cpe:2.3:a:progress:moveit_transfer, and vendor tags 'Cors Misconfiguration' and 'Information Disclosure' confirm the mechanism is browser-mediated cross-origin data exposure rather than a memory-safety or injection flaw.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released patch: upgrade to MOVEit Transfer 2025.1.5 (for the pre-2025.1.5 branch) or 2026.0.3 (for the 2026.0.x branch), as documented in the Progress 2026.0.3 fixed-issues release notes (https://docs.progress.com/bundle/moveit-transfer-release-notes-2026/page/Fixed-Issues-in-2026.0.3.html). If patching must be delayed, apply compensating controls at the web tier: tighten the CORS policy so Access-Control-Allow-Origin returns only an explicit allowlist of trusted origins (never a reflected/wildcard origin) and disable Access-Control-Allow-Credentials for any wildcard responses - this can break legitimate third-party integrations that rely on cross-origin API calls, so validate integration behavior first. Additionally restrict access to the MOVEit web interface to trusted networks/VPN and consider a reverse proxy or WAF rule to strip or override permissive CORS headers, accepting the trade-off that overly strict rules may block sanctioned browser-based clients. Confirm exact fixed versions against the vendor advisory before deployment.
