CVE-2023-34362 is a critical software vulnerability found in Progress Software's managed file transfer (MFT) solution, MOVEit Transfer. This flaw was an SQL injection vulnerability that allowed for escalated privileges and unauthorized access. The vulnerability became active on May 27, 2023, when it was first exploited by the CL0P Ransomware Gang, also known as TA505 or Lace Tempest. The group is notorious for its large-scale hacks using ransomware, and this time they leveraged the zero-day vulnerability in MOVEit to launch their campaign. The exploitation of CVE-2023-34362 had a significant impact, affecting more than 2,600 organizations globally. A considerable 61% of third-party breaches were attributed to this vulnerability, including victims who did not directly use MOVEit but whose data was exposed through a service provider. By December 1, 2023, the number of victims affected by the MOVEit vulnerability had reached 2,098 according to intelligence sources. The MOVEit vulnerability was one of several significant vulnerabilities exploited during Q2 and Q3 of 2023, alongside others found in PaperCut and Citrix products. The threat actor behind these attacks, believed to be an affiliate of the Clop ransomware gang, has previously been linked to large-scale hacking campaigns. The exploitation of CVE-2023-34362 demonstrates the serious risks posed by software vulnerabilities and underscores the importance of prompt patching and robust cybersecurity measures.
