Attack Background

Organizations can manage, share, and store large volumes of data with managed file transfer (MFT) solutions. The Progress Software MFT solution, MOVEit Transfer, has an SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2023-34362) that can be exploited to install the LEMURLOOT web shell on the MOVEit Transfer database server. This web shell masquerades as human.aspx, which is a legitimate component of the MOVEit Transfer software. To interact with LEMURLOOT, the attacker sends HTTP requests with header values that contain web shell commands. LEMURLOOT enables attackers to enumerate files and folders, retrieve configuration information, modify users, and steal data.
