Threat actors are already trying to exploit a critical authentication bypass flaw in Progress MOVEit Transfer, less than a day after the vendor disclosed it.

MOVEit Transfer is a managed file transfer (MFT) solution used in enterprise environments to securely transfer files between business partners and customers using the SFTP, SCP, and HTTP protocols.

The new security issue received the identifier CVE-2024-5806 and allows attackers to bypass the authentication process in the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) module, which is responsible for file transfer operations over SSH.

An attacker leveraging this flaw could access sensitive data stored on the MOVEit Transfer server, upload, download, delete, or modify files, and intercept or tamper with file transfers.
