A KEV listing indicates evidence of real-world exploitation—not that every installation is compromised. Check your version, configuration and the vendor’s advisory.

Verified reference description

The following technical description is credited to the CISA KEV dataset (CC0):

Progress MOVEit Transfer contains a SQL injection vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to gain unauthorized access to MOVEit Transfer's database. Depending on the database engine being used (MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Azure SQL), an attacker may be able to infer information about the structure and contents of the database in addition to executing SQL statements that alter or delete database elements.

A KEV addition date is not a discovery date. CVSS describes technical severity; actual exposure and asset importance also influence remediation priority.

Defensive next steps

Match the installed Progress MOVEit Transfer version and configuration against the linked technical advisory. Apply the manufacturer-approved fixed release or an explicitly documented mitigation; this profile does not guess a fixed version. Verify the patch and review relevant logs afterward. Plan a supported replacement where the product is end-of-life.

Scope and limitations

This is an awareness and defensive-prioritization profile, not a penetration test or a finding that your network is compromised. KEV membership indicates evidence of real-world exploitation. Mandatory CISA deadlines apply to entities covered by the relevant directive, not universally to every reader.

Reported versions and platforms

The table shows up to ten structured version entries from the official CVE-2023-34362 record. Original field names and values are retained deliberately. This is not an automated exposure verdict or a complete list of every product branch; use the full record and vendor advisory for a deployment decision.

Full record and technical references

Turn the record into an operational decision

For Progress MOVEit Transfer, record the asset, effective version, enabled feature and access path. When the reference does not map clearly to your package or branch, retain an explicit unknown status and assign follow-up rather than guessing that the system is safe.

After remediation, record the effective running version, health-check outcome and change time, not merely installation success. Evidence of compromise requires the appropriate incident-response workflow; this page does not diagnose any network as compromised or clean.
