Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT versions prior to 7.10.0 and GoAnywhere Agents prior to 2.2.0. It involves the use of a static initialization vector (IV) for encrypting values. Because the IV is static, admin users can perform brute-force attacks to decrypt the encrypted data.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability allows admin users to brute-force decrypt encrypted data, potentially exposing sensitive information. This could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, compromising confidentiality without affecting data integrity or availability.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, upgrade Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT to version 7.10.0 or later and GoAnywhere Agents to version 2.2.0 or later. These versions address the issue by eliminating the use of a static IV in encrypted values.
