CVE-2026-89067 is a high-severity authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel vulnerability in MOVEit Transfer from Progress Software, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 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 2025.1.6, 2026.0.4 as the first without the flaw, so updating MOVEit Transfer to one of those releases or later removes the exposure.

The product requires authentication, but the product has an alternate path or channel that does not require authentication.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Funnel all access through a single choke point to simplify how users can access a resource. For every access, perform a check to determine if the user has permissions to access the resource.
