CVE-2026-8651
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 · uneditedLimited authentication bypass by spoofing vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer (HTTPS module). This issue affects MOVEit Transfer: before 2025.0.7, from 2025.1.0 before 2025.1.3.
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.

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.
-
Verify MOVEit Transfer is installedCheck for MOVEit Transfer installation directory or service. Common paths: C:\Program Files\MOVEit Transfer\ or /opt/MOVEit Transfer/. On Windows, also check Services for 'MOVEit Transfer' service.Affected if MOVEit Transfer software is present on the system
-
Determine installed versionLocate the version information file or check via admin interface. In the installation directory, look for a version.txt, or access the MOVEit Transfer admin web interface and navigate to System > About. The version is typically displayed on the login page footer or in the admin dashboard.Affected if Version number cannot be determined or is not visible
-
Compare version against affected rangesCompare your installed version to: < 2025.0.7 OR (>= 2025.1.1 AND < 2025.1.3). For example, versions 2025.0.0 through 2025.0.6 are affected, as are 2025.1.1 and 2025.1.2.Affected if Installed version falls within < 2025.0.7 OR >= 2025.1.1 but < 2025.1.3
-
Confirm HTTPS module is in useCheck MOVEit Transfer configuration for HTTPS/TLS settings. In the admin interface, go to System > Settings > Network or SSL/TLS configuration. Verify if HTTPS listeners are configured and active.Affected if HTTPS module is enabled and configured
If MOVEit Transfer is installed with a version below 2025.0.7 or between 2025.1.1 and 2025.1.2, and the HTTPS module is in use, the environment is likely affected by this authentication bypass vulnerability.
