Security News > 2024 > June > PoC exploit for critical Fortra FileCatalyst flaw published (CVE-2024-5276)

A critical SQL injection vulnerability in Fortra FileCatalyst Workflow has been patched; a PoC exploit is already available online.

Fortra FileCatalyst is an enterprise software solution for accellerated, UDP-based file transfer of large files.

"Successful unauthenticated exploitation requires a Workflow system with anonymous access enabled, otherwise an authenticated user is required," the company noted.

"SQL Injection results from failure of the application to appropriately validate input. An attacker crafts input strings so that when the target software constructs SQL statements based on the input, the resulting SQL statement performs actions other than those the application intended."

The vulnerability affects all versions of FileCatalyst Workflow from 5.1.6 Build 135 and earlier, and has been fixed in 5.1.6 build 139.

Three months ago, PoC exploit code for a critical RCE vulnerability in Fortra FileCatalyst Workflow was also made public, but no exploitation attemps followed.
