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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify MOVEit Transfer installed version
    Locate the MOVEit Transfer installation and check the version information, typically found in the application itself, installer files, or system registry
    Affected if The installed version falls within >= 2023.1.0 and < 2023.1.12, OR >= 2024.0.0 and < 2024.0.8, OR >= 2024.1.0 and < 2024.1.2
  2. Verify SFTP module is enabled
    Check the MOVEit Transfer configuration to determine if the SFTP module is active and available for use
    Affected if The SFTP module is enabled and accessible to users
  3. Confirm Shared Account configuration exists
    Examine the MOVEit Transfer user management settings to identify accounts configured as Shared Accounts
    Affected if One or more Shared Accounts are configured in the system
  4. Review Shared Account privilege assignments
    Inspect the permission settings assigned to Shared Accounts to determine their current access level
    Affected if Shared Accounts have been granted permissions that could be escalated beyond their intended scope

The environment is affected if MOVEit Transfer is running a vulnerable version (2023.1.0-2023.1.11, 2024.0.0-2024.0.7, or 2024.1.0-2024.1.1), the SFTP module is enabled, and Shared Accounts are configured with permissions that could be exploited for privilege escalation.

Recommended fix High confidence

MOVEit Transfer 2023.1.12, 2024.0.8, or 2024.1.2 (depending on your current major version branch)

  1. Identify your current MOVEit Transfer version by checking the application or admin console
  2. If running 2023.1.x, upgrade to version 2023.1.12 or later
  3. If running 2024.0.x, upgrade to version 2024.0.8 or later
  4. If running 2024.1.x, upgrade to version 2024.1.2 or later
  5. After upgrade, verify the SFTP module configuration and test that shared account privilege escalation is no longer possible
  6. Review user accounts configured as Shared Accounts to ensure only intended privileges are assigned
Caveat Standard upgrade considerations apply - test in non-production first, backup configuration, and review release notes for any changes to SFTP or shared account functionality
