It affects specific versions prior to 2025.0.11 and between 2025.1.0 and before 2025.1.7. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability impact. No patch or official remediation level has been disclosed by Progress Software as of the publication date.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive embedded data within MOVEit Automation. The confidentiality impact is high, but integrity and availability are not affected.
