On May 27, 2023, CISA cybersecurity advisory announced that a previously unknown SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2023-34362) was exploited in Progress Software’s managed file transfer software, MOVEit Transfer.
Progress Software’s MOVEit vulnerability impacts on-premises and cloud-based versions of its file-transfer service. The actively exploited SQL injection vulnerability allows threat actors to escalate privileges and gain unauthorized access to customer environments.
This same year, Sutter Health in Northern California informed customers of a breach that may have impacted their sensitive, personally identifiable, and protected health information. On July 26, 2023, Sutter Health was alerted to a compromise of their MOVEit Transfer server related to publicly known software vulnerabilities.
Shortly after, on August 11, 2023, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) notified more than 4 million individuals, that their personal healthcare data was exposed in the MOVEit breach. The files contained their full names, Social Security numbers, Medicaid and Medicare ID numbers, birth dates, home addresses, demographic and income information, clinical and medical information, and health insurance information.
The MOVEit vulnerability is a serious threat to the healthcare sector, as it can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data, which are the three pillars of cybersecurity. The breach can also have severe consequences for patients, such as identity theft, fraud, blackmail, and even physical harm.
