How do I patch CVE-2023-34362?

No patch has shipped for CVE-2023-34362 yet — track the progress moveit cloud advisory for a fixed release and apply the workarounds below in the meantime.

How do I detect CVE-2023-34362 across my infrastructure?

Inventory every progress moveit cloud deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above.

How do I mitigate CVE-2023-34362 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs. Alongside that, restrict the management interface to trusted networks and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations.

Is CVE-2023-34362 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 12 known exploit references for CVE-2023-34362, including 8 in-the-wild exploitations observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2023-34362?

CVE-2023-34362 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 99.9%, placing it in the 100th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. A score above 50% indicates significantly elevated exploitation risk — immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Is CVE-2023-34362 in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog?

Yes. CVE-2023-34362 (Progress MOVEit Transfer SQL Injection Vulnerability) was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on 2023-06-02. CISA required all US federal civilian agencies to remediate this vulnerability by 2023-06-23. The required action was: Apply updates per vendor instructions. This CVE has been used in known ransomware campaigns. Being listed in the KEV catalog is the strongest possible confirmation of active exploitation — treat this as a critical priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2023-34362?

CVE-2023-34362 is classified as SQL Injection (CWE-89). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

Which products and versions are affected by CVE-2023-34362?

CVE-2023-34362 affects progress moveit cloud (2 versions, e.g. 14.0.5.45, 14.1.0.0); progress moveit transfer (6 versions, e.g. 2020.1, 2021.0, 2021.1.0…). Check the affected-products list on this page against your deployed version to confirm exposure.

Is there exploit tooling available for CVE-2023-34362?

A Nuclei detection template exists for CVE-2023-34362, meaning automated scanners can fingerprint it. Public exploit tooling significantly increases real-world risk — prioritize patching and ensure detection coverage. Exploit tooling should only ever be used in isolated, authorized testing environments.

When was CVE-2023-34362 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2023-34362 was published on June 2, 2023 and was last updated on October 21, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Exploitation Status

Actively exploited in the wild

Confirmed by CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2023-06-02 — including use in ransomware campaigns. Federal agencies were required to remediate by 2023-06-23.
CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.

Description

In Progress MOVEit Transfer before 2021.0.6 (13.0.6), 2021.1.4 (13.1.4), 2022.0.4 (14.0.4), 2022.1.5 (14.1.5), and 2023.0.1 (15.0.1), a SQL injection vulnerability has been found in the MOVEit Transfer web application that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to gain 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, and execute SQL statements that alter or delete database elements. NOTE: this is exploited in the wild in May and June 2023; exploitation of unpatched systems can occur via HTTP or HTTPS. All versions (e.g., 2020.0 and 2019x) before the five explicitly mentioned versions are affected, including older unsupported versions.
