Summary

CVE-2026-89068 is a missing-critical-step authentication vulnerability (CWE-304) in the LDAP module of Progress MOVEit Transfer. It allows an authentication bypass affecting LDAP sign-on and is rated High severity (CVSS 8.1).

Technical details

  • Root cause: a missing critical step in authentication in the MOVEit Transfer LDAP module (CWE-304).
  • Trigger conditions: the CVE record lists attack complexity as High; no privileges or user interaction are required. The record does not state further preconditions.
  • Attack vector: network.
  • Impact: high impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability per the CVSS vector.

Affected software

  • Progress MOVEit Transfer versions before 2025.1.6
  • Progress MOVEit Transfer versions 2026.0.0 through 2026.0.4

Severity

  • CVSS v3.1 base score: 8.1 (High)
  • Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: upgrade to a fixed release. The CVE record lists 2025.1.6 or later on the 2025.x branch and a fix on the 2026.x branch (listed as 2026.0.4, which overlaps the affected range above). Consult the Progress advisory to confirm the exact fixed 2026.x build and upgrade to the latest available release.
  • No workarounds are documented in the CVE record. Until patched, consider restricting network access to MOVEit Transfer to trusted sources.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
