CVE-2024-4563
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Progress MOVEit Automation configuration export function prior to 2024.0.0 uses a cryptographic method with insufficient bit length.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Progress MOVEit Automation configuration export function prior to version 2024.0.0 uses a cryptographic method with insufficient bit length, which could allow an attacker to decrypt exported configuration data if intercepted.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.
Affected products & versions What the vendor confirmedThe version ranges the vendor confirmed as vulnerable. If your version sits inside a range here, treat yourself as exposed until you have upgraded.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify MOVEit Automation versionAccess the MOVEit Automation admin interface or check the installed software version numberAffected if The installed version is below 2024.0.0
-
Locate configuration export filesSearch the system for any exported configuration files (typically .xml, .zip, or other export formats generated by MOVEit)Affected if Exported configuration files exist on the system or were transmitted over networks
-
Check if export feature was usedReview admin logs or audit trails for entries related to configuration export operationsAffected if Configuration exports were performed prior to upgrading to 2024.0.0 or later
-
Verify export data exposure riskDetermine whether exported configuration files were transmitted over untrusted networks or stored in accessible locationsAffected if Exported configuration data could have been intercepted by third parties
A user is affected if MOVEit Automation version is below 2024.0.0 AND configuration exports were performed, as the exported data could have been decrypted by an interceptor due to insufficient cryptographic key length.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2024.0.0
Upgrade MOVEit Automation to version 2024.0.0 or later which implements proper cryptographic methods with adequate key length.
2024.0.0
- Back up the current Moveit Automation configuration and any custom settings
- Download MOVEit Automation version 2024.0.0 or later from the Progress Customer Portal or official download channels
- Review the MOVEit Automation 2024.0.0 release notes for any pre-upgrade requirements
- Stop the MOVEit Automation services before upgrading
- Install the 2024.0.0 version following the standard upgrade procedure
- After installation, verify that the configuration export function is working correctly
- Confirm the version number shows 2024.0.0 or later in the product UI or about section
