Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2023-0669

Fortra GoAnywhere MFT contains a pre-authentication remote code execution flaw in its License Response Servlet, triggered by deserializing an attacker-controlled object. Managed file transfer servers concentrate sensitive data and are frequently internet-facing, which is why this bug carries a 100 percent EPSS score and confirmed use in ransomware campaigns. No credentials are needed, so any reachable admin interface is an open door.

Do this: Patch every GoAnywhere MFT instance today, remove its admin console from the internet, and review transfer logs for unauthorized activity.
