Description

In Progress MOVEit Transfer 2019.1 before 2019.1.4 and 2019.2 before 2019.2.1, multiple SQL Injection vulnerabilities have been found in the REST API that could allow an authenticated attacker to gain unauthorized access to MOVEit Transfer's database via the REST API. 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 destroy database elements.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
