CISA and FBI have issued a joint advisory on the MOVEit transfer vulnerability that should be on the radar of CISOs and IT professionals. The CLOP ransomware organization has been reportedly exploiting an SQL injection vulnerability in the MOVEit solution. According to the joint advisory, “Internet-facing MOVEit Transfer web applications were infected with a web shell named LEMURLOOT, which was then used to steal data from underlying MOVEit Transfer databases.”

The alert urges information technology defenders to implement the recommended mitigations provided to reduce the risk of compromise. The Alert and link to the MOVEit Transfer Advisory can be accessed here.
