In today’s highly dynamic application ecosystem, the number and scope of security issues that developers need to address have increased dramatically, making it imperative for modern development teams to have an automated system to handle security events across every application component.
MOVEit, a massive global fire-sharing service provider, recently suffered a data breach that could impact 100's of corporations in the United States, Europe, and many other areas of the world. The file-transfer service provider is supposed to offer a secure transfer solution, and it appears that it may not be as secure as so many hoped. This breach is the result of a ransomware attack, and that attack could result in substantial losses for so many involved.
In early June, multiple threat researchers observed attacks on MOVEit servers using a zero day vulnerability that facilitated data exfiltration. MOVEit Transfer is a managed file transfer software that supports the exchange of files and data. This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to the database and possibly infer information about the structure and contents of the database.
A new critical vulnerability (CVE-2023-34362) has been published by Progress Software in its file transfer application, MOVEit Transfer. A SQL Injection vulnerability was discovered in MOVEit enabling unauthenticated access to MOVEit’s Transfer database.
On May 19, 2023, Barracuda Networks identified a remote command injection vulnerability (CVE-2023-2868) present in the Barracuda Email Security Gateway (appliance form factor only) versions 5.1.3.001-9.2.0.006. In its security advisory, Barracuda said the vulnerability existed in the Barracuda software component responsible for screening attachments for malware. In subsequent days, Barracuda deployed a series of patches.
The recent discovery of a zero-day vulnerability in a well-known email security product further underscores the importance of robust email security that can effectively counter advanced email threats, offer a defense-in-depth approach, and operate in the cloud or on-premises.
