CVE-2024-0396NVD status: Modified

In Progress MOVEit Transfer versions released before 2022.0.10 (14.0.10), 2022.1.11 (14.1.11)…

CVE-2024-0396 is a high-severity improper input validation vulnerability in MOVEit Transfer from Progress Software, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 2022.0.10 (14.0.10), 2022.1.11 (14.1.11), 2023.0.8 (15.0.8) 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 0.54% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Update MOVEit Transfer to 2022.0.10 (14.0.10) or 2022.1.11 (14.1.11) or 2023.0.8 (15.0.8) or 2023.1.3 (15.1.3), whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
  2. Read the advisory on community.progress.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.

Official description

In Progress MOVEit Transfer versions released before 2022.0.10 (14.0.10), 2022.1.11 (14.1.11), 2023.0.8 (15.0.8), 2023.1.3 (15.1.3), an input validation issue was discovered. An authenticated user can manipulate a parameter in an HTTPS transaction. The modified transaction could lead to computational errors within MOVEit Transfer and potentially result in a denial of service.

The underlying weakness: Improper Input Validation

The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Consider using language-theoretic security (LangSec) techniques that characterize inputs using a formal language and build recognizers for that language. This effectively requires parsing to be a distinct layer that effectively enforces a boundary between raw input and internal data representations, instead of allowing parser code to be scattered throughout the program, where it could be subject to errors or inconsistencies that create weaknesses.
  • Use an input validation framework such as Struts or the OWASP ESAPI Validation API. Note that using a framework does not automatically address all input validation problems; be mindful of weaknesses that could arise from misusing the framework itself (CWE-1173).
  • Understand all the potential areas where untrusted inputs can enter the product, including but not limited to: parameters or arguments, cookies, anything read from the network, environment variables, reverse DNS lookups, query results, request headers, URL components, e-mail, files, filenames, databases, and any external systems that provide data to the application. Remember that such inputs may be obtained indirectly through API calls.
