CVE-2023-0669Fortra GoAnywhere MFT — License Servlet Deserialization RCE

Fortra's GoAnywhere managed file transfer server rebuilds an attacker-supplied object in its license response handler without checking it, so someone who can reach that endpoint runs commands on the machine holding everyone's transferred files.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade GoAnywhere to 7.1.2 or later and keep its admin interface off the internet; then review transfer logs and accounts for theft since February 2023.
