MOVEit Transfer faces multiple critical vulnerabilities, urgent patching required.

Progress Software has warned customers of newly discovered critical SQL injection vulnerabilities in its MOVEit Transfer managed file transfer solution that can allow attackers to steal information from customers' databases. The security bugs were discovered with the help of cybersecurity firm Huntress following detailed code reviews initiated by Progress on May 31. The vulnerabilities affect all MOVEit Transfer versions and enable unauthenticated attackers to compromise Internet-exposed servers to alter or extract customer information. Progress has released a patch for the vulnerabilities and urges all customers to apply it immediately. The Clop ransomware gang has claimed responsibility for targeting a MOVEit Transfer zero-day vulnerability, which led to a series of data-theft attacks that have allegedly affected "hundreds of companies."

Clop Ransomware Exploits MOVEit Vulnerability for Years.

The Clop ransomware gang has been testing a zero-day vulnerability in the MOVEit Transfer managed file transfer solution since 2021, according to Kroll security experts. The threat actors were also testing ways to collect and extract sensitive data from compromised MOVEit Transfer servers as far back as April 2022, likely with the help of automated tools. The automated malicious activity picked up on a much larger scale starting on May 15, 2023, right before the zero-day bug mass exploitation began on May 27. Clop has threatened all affected organizations to reach out and negotiate a ransom if they don't want their data leaked online in six days, on June 14.

MOVEit Transfer App Exploited by Clop Ransomware Group and Lace Tempest Hackers, Dozens of Organizations Affected.

The Clop ransomware gang is behind a new wave of mass-hacks targeting the MOVEit Transfer file transfer tool, with British Airways, the BBC, and Nova Scotia's government among the confirmed victims. Microsoft security researchers have attributed the attacks to a group it tracks as "Lace Tempest," a known affiliate of the Russia-linked Clop ransomware group. The exploitation of the MOVEit vulnerability is often followed by data exfiltration, and it's likely that many more victims of the breach will come to light over the next few days.
