In late 2023, a critical security vulnerability was discovered in Globalscape’s Enhanced File Transfer (EFT) enterprise software. This incident highlighted the systemic risks associated with Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions, which act as centralized repositories for highly sensitive data. Attackers targeted a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability, allowing them to compromise servers, exfiltrate data, and potentially move laterally through corporate networks. This paper outlines the nature of the attack, the specific Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) involved, and the necessary steps for mitigation.
