Vulnerabilities mentionedAll →
| CVE | Vulnerability | CVSS | EPSS | Flags | Affected | Exposure | Published |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2023-0669 | Pre-Authentication Deserialization RCE in Fortra GoAnywhere MFT Fortra (formerly HelpSystems) GoAnywhere MFT is vulnerable to pre-authentication remote code execution (CWE-502) in the License Response Servlet, which deserializes an attacker-controlled object without validating it. An unauthenticated attacker who can reach the exposed administrative interface can send a crafted serialized object to the servlet and trigger code execution on the server. Successful exploitation gives the attacker the ability to run arbitrary code in the context of the application, which has been leveraged for ransomware operations. All organizations running GoAnywhere MFT with the affected component reachable by untrusted networks are in scope. The flaw is being actively exploited: CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2023-02-10, ransomware use is confirmed, and EPSS puts the 30-day exploitation probability at 100%. Do: Apply the vendor's updates for GoAnywhere MFT immediately, per Fortra's instructions, as required by the CISA KEV catalog. Until patched, restrict or block untrusted/internet access to the administrative interface hosting the License Response Servlet, and review logs for signs of exploitation given confirmed in-the-wild and ransomware use. | 7.2 | 100% | KEV ransomware PoC ×3 |
| moderate≈1,000–10,000 internet-exposed GoAnywhere MFT instances (public internet scans of the exposed administrative interface) | |
| CVE-2023-34362 | Unauthenticated SQL Injection in Progress MOVEit Transfer CVE-2023-34362 is an unauthenticated SQL injection flaw (CWE-89) in Progress MOVEit Transfer that allows an attacker with no credentials to gain unauthorized access to the product's database. It is triggered remotely via crafted input submitted to the MOVEit Transfer web application, with the impact varying by the backend database engine in use (MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Azure SQL). A successful attacker can infer the structure and contents of the database and, depending on the engine, execute SQL statements that alter or delete database elements, exposing data handled by the file-transfer service. Any organization running an internet-reachable MOVEit Transfer instance is affected; public internet-exposure scans around disclosure identified on the order of a few thousand servers, each typically serving enterprise or government user bases. Exploitation is confirmed in the wild: the flaw was added to CISA KEV on 2023-06-02 with known ransomware use and an EPSS exploitation probability of 99.9% (100th percentile), while no public PoC is known. Do: Apply the vendor's updates immediately, per Progress instructions and CISA's required action. Until patched, restrict internet exposure of MOVEit Transfer and check the backend database for unexpected structure or content changes and deletions. Because in-the-wild exploitation and ransomware use are confirmed, treat any unpatched, internet-facing instance as potentially compromised and review stored transfer data and access logs for anomalies. | 9.8 | 100% | KEV ransomware PoC |
| large≈2,000-3,000 internet-exposed MOVEit Transfer servers (public internet-exposure scans) | |
| CVE-2025-11371 | Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion in Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox, in their default installation and configuration, contain an unauthenticated local file inclusion flaw (CWE-552) that allows unintended disclosure of system files to remote attackers. The flaw requires no privileges or user interaction (CVSS 3.1: AV:N/PR:N/UI:N, 7.5 High), so any internet-facing deployment is directly reachable over the network. An attacker gains access to system files that should not be externally readable, and related reporting indicates active attacks have chained the flaw — including with Gladinet's hardcoded keys — toward unauthorized access, code execution, and deployment of remote access tools. All versions prior to and including 16.7.10368.56560 of both products are affected. Exploitation has been observed in the wild: the vulnerability was added to CISA's KEV on 2025-11-04 and carries a 92.1% EPSS probability of exploitation within 30 days. Do: Upgrade CentreStack and Triofox to a release newer than 16.7.10368.56560, and apply vendor mitigations per CISA BOD 22-01 requirements (federal agencies must mitigate or discontinue use of affected versions). Until patched, restrict internet exposure of the service and review logs for suspicious unauthenticated requests, unexpected file reads, new accounts, or signs of follow-on compromise such as remote-access tool installation. The Huntress write-up referenced in this record provides exploitation context for detection guidance; no exploit code is required to confirm patch status. | 7.5 | 92% | KEV PoC |
| moderate≈ thousands (10^3–10^4) of internet-facing CentreStack/Triofox server deployments; exact counts unknown | |
| CVE-2025-30406 | Hard-coded machineKey enables unauthenticated deserialization RCE in Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox Gladinet CentreStack (and, per CISA, the companion product Triofox) ships with a hard-coded ASP.NET machineKey in the portal's web.config, which is used to protect ViewState and similar serialized data. An attacker who knows this fixed key can craft a serialized payload and submit it to the network-facing portal, where server-side deserialization executes it, yielding unauthenticated remote code execution (CVSS 9.8, no privileges or user interaction required). Successful RCE gives attackers full control of the file-sharing server (high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact); public reporting indicates attackers have abused the flaw to gain unauthorized access and install remote access tools. Anyone running the affected CentreStack builds is exposed, with self-hosted deployments at SMBs and MSP-hosted environments the typical footprint. The flaw was exploited in the wild in March 2025, was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-04-08, and carries an EPSS of 94.3% (100th percentile). Do: Upgrade CentreStack to 16.4.10315.56368 or later, and apply the equivalent vendor fix for Triofox; as an interim mitigation, administrators can delete the hard-coded machineKey defined in portal\web.config so it is regenerated. Because the flaw is actively exploited, review portals for signs of compromise (unexpected accounts, unfamiliar processes or remote access tools) and, for federal agencies, follow the applicable BOD 22-01 required actions. | 9.8 | 94% | KEV |

| CVE-2025-61882 | Unauthenticated Takeover of Oracle E-Business Suite Concurrent Processing CVE-2025-61882 is a critical (CVSS 9.8) authentication flaw (CWE-287) in the BI Publisher Integration component of the Oracle Concurrent Processing product within Oracle E-Business Suite. An unauthenticated attacker with network access over HTTP can exploit it remotely with no credentials and no user interaction, achieving a takeover of Oracle Concurrent Processing with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Any organization running Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.3 through 12.2.14 is affected, especially instances reachable from the internet. The flaw is being actively exploited in the wild: the Cl0p data-theft group has used it to breach dozens of organizations (including Harvard University, with 1.3 TB of data leaked), CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-10-06 with known ransomware use, and EPSS puts its 30-day exploitation probability at 99.7%. Do: Apply Oracle's released patch or mitigations for CVE-2025-61882 to affected E-Business Suite 12.2.3-12.2.14 deployments as instructed by the vendor; per CISA KEV requirements, federal agencies must follow BOD 22-01 guidance or discontinue use if mitigations are unavailable. Until patched, limit internet exposure of EBS and its BI Publisher/Concurrent Processing HTTP endpoints, and review web and application logs for unauthenticated access and signs of Cl0p-style data theft or follow-on ransomware. | 9.8 | 100% | KEV ransomware |

The Clop ransomware group is targeting Gladinet CentreStack file servers in a new large-scale extortion campaign.
The Clop ransomware group is targeting Gladinet CentreStack file servers in a new large-scale extortion campaign aimed at stealing sensitive data from organizations worldwide.
Gladinet CentreStack is a software platform that allows organizations to turn their existing file servers, NAS devices, or cloud storage into secure, enterprise-grade private cloud storage. Essentially, it provides a bridge between traditional on-premises file storage and cloud-like access features.
Experts from threat intel firm Curated Intelligence reported a new CLOP extortion campaign targeting Internet-facing CentreStack file servers. Over 200 IPs with the “CentreStack – Login” HTTP title may be at risk from an unknown CVE (n-day or zero-day) exploited by the group.
“PSA: Incident Responders from the Curated Intelligence community have encountered a new CLOP extortion campaign targeting Internet-facing CentreStack file servers.” reported Curated Intelligence. “From recent port scan data, there appears to be at least 200+ unique IPs running the “CentreStack – Login” HTTP Title, making them potential targets of CLOP who is exploiting an unknown CVE (n-day or zero-day) in these systems. This is yet another similar data extortion campaign by this adversary. CLOP is well-known for targeting file transfer servers such as Oracle EBS, Cleo FTP, MOVEit, CrushFTP, SolarWinds Serv-U, PaperCut, GoAnywhere, among others.”
In October, Huntress researchers reported that threat actors are exploiting the local File Inclusion (LFI) flaw CVE-2025-11371, a zero-day in Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox. A local user can exploit the issue to access system files without authentication.
Both solutions are used to manage corporate files securely while supporting remote work and collaboration.
Experts are aware of the existence of mitigations, but warn that the issue has yet to be patched.
“In earlier versions of CentreStack and Triofox vulnerable to CVE-2025-30406, a hardcoded machine key would allow a threat actor to perform remote code execution via a ViewState deserialization vulnerability.” reads the report published by Huntress. “After subsequent analysis, Huntress discovered exploitation of an unauthenticated local file inclusion vulnerability (CVE-2025-11371) that allowed a threat actor to retrieve the machine key from the application Web.config file to perform remote code execution via the aforementioned ViewState deserialization vulnerability.”
Gladinet and Huntress have alerted customers to a workaround for the actively exploited CVE-2025-11371 flaw. The cybersecurity firm reported that at least three customers have been targeted so far.
The company recommends disabling the temp handler in UploadDownloadProxy’s Web.config to block exploitation of the vulnerability, though some platform functionality will be affected.

“Removing the line highlighted above will mitigate the vulnerability present until such time as a patch can be applied.” concludes the report.
In early December, Barts Health NHS confirmed that Clop ransomware group stole data by exploiting zero-day CVE-2025-61882 in its Oracle E-Business Suite. The cybercrime group added the organization to its dark web data leak site and leaked the stolen information.
The Clop ransomware gang has been also exploiting the critical Oracle EBS zero-day CVE-2025-61882 since early August, stealing sensitive data from numerous organizations worldwide, including Envoy Air, Harvard University, Washington Post, Logitech, University of Pennsylvania, and University of Phoenix.
Clop (aka Cl0p) is a prolific Russian-speaking ransomware-as-a-service group specializing in big-game hunting and double-extortion.
The Clop ransomware group first appeared on the threat landscape around February 2019, emerging from the TA505 cybercrime group, a financially motivated gang active since at least 2014.
Like other Russia-based threat actors, Clop avoids targets in former Soviet countries and its malware can’t be activated on a computer that operates primarily in Russian.
Operators and affiliates identify high-value targets, steal sensitive data, encrypt networks, then publish stolen files on data-leak sites to pressure victims into paying. Clop exploits zero-days and vulnerable third-party software (e.g., MOVEit, GoAnywhere, Oracle EBS), leverages initial-access brokers and automation, and uses sophisticated evasion and lateral-movement techniques to maximize impact and monetization.
Clop’s victims include Shell, British Airways, Bombardier, University of Colorado, PwC, and the BBC.
The group conducted major campaigns including:
- GoAnywhere MFT (2023): Targeted a flaw (CVE-2023-0669) to compromise over 130 organizations.
- MOVEit Transfer (2023): One of the largest ransomware campaigns in history, impacting hundreds of companies worldwide, including US and European firms, through an SQL injection zero-day (CVE-2023-34362).
- Accellion FTA (2020–2021): Exploited a zero-day in the file-transfer appliance to steal data from ~100 organizations.
