Moveit Transfer: Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions
CVE-2023-36933 is a high-severity improper handling of exceptional conditions vulnerability in Moveit Transfer from Progress Software, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 2020.1.11, 2021.0.9, 2021.1.7 as the first without the flaw, so updating Moveit Transfer to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 72.2% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is in the top 0.56% of all scored CVEs.
Exploitation in the next 30 days is more likely than not, according to EPSS.
What to do
- Update Moveit Transfer to 2020.1.11 or 2021.0.9 or 2021.1.7 or 2022.0.7, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Read the advisory on community.progress.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
