MOVEit Transfer: Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-89075 is a high-severity insecure storage of sensitive information vulnerability in MOVEit Transfer from Progress Software, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an attacker with a low-privileged account, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. 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. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

  2. Read the advisory on community.progress.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  3. Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.
