MOVEit Empty Key Fingerprint Authentication Attempt: endpointWeb ServerNoneversion:7
This detection identifies attempts to authenticate with an empty public key fingerprint in Progress MOVEit Transfer, which is a key indicator of potential exploitation of the CVE-2024-5806 vulnerability. Such attempts are characteristic of the authentication bypass technique used in this vulnerability, where attackers try to impersonate valid users without providing proper credentials. While occasional empty key fingerprint authentication attempts might occur due to misconfigurations, a sudden increase or attempts from unexpected sources could signify malicious activity. This analytic helps security teams identify and investigate potential exploitation attempts of the MOVEit Transfer authentication bypass vulnerability.
MOVEit Certificate Store Access Failure: endpointWeb ServerNoneversion:6
This detection identifies potential exploitation attempts of the CVE-2024-5806 vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer. It looks for log entries indicating failures to access the certificate store, which can occur when an attacker attempts to exploit the authentication bypass vulnerability. This behavior is a key indicator of attempts to impersonate valid users without proper credentials. While certificate store access failures can occur during normal operations, an unusual increase in such events, especially from unexpected sources, may indicate malicious activity.
