| Component | Published condition |
|---|---|
| MOVEit WAF | < 7.2.63.3 |
For MOVEit WAF, the published condition is “< 7.2.63.3”. Compare the version actually loaded with that condition within its own release branch. A fix installed on another edition of MOVEit WAF does not close this case.
Mechanism and prerequisites
Code execution can give an attacker the permissions of the affected process. Check the service account and reachable network destinations. Component isolation can reduce lateral movement opportunities, but does not replace the fix.
The primary record CVE-2026-59690, published by ProgressSoftware, covers LoadMaster, ECS Connection Manager, Object Scale Connection Manager, MOVEit WAF, Multi Tenant. The retained revision is dated 2026-07-28. Its scope is presented separately from the integrations and product groupings in CERTFR-2026-AVI-1011.
The published metric for CVE-2026-59690 is CVSS 3.1, 8/10. The vector below describes technical prerequisites; it does not measure attack frequency or the likelihood that your deployment is compromised.

Choose the appropriate intervention
- Locate MOVEit WAF instances, running releases and service owners. Record condition < 7.2.63.3 in the ticket alongside reference CERTFR-2026-AVI-1011.
- Compare the installed branch with the vendor’s MOVEit WAF release notes. Prepare the package for that branch and a dependent-service test, retaining the pre-change state.
- After changing MOVEit WAF, capture the loaded version again and verify the workflow below. Any exception needs an owner, an exposure-reduction measure and an expiry date.
Verify the fix in a real workflow
Validation scenario to adapt for MOVEit WAF: For MOVEit WAF, capture the version loaded by the process or active kernel, then restart only as required by maintenance instructions. Check a dependent workflow and look for embedded copies in distributed images or executables. This is a proposed defensive check, not a claim that testing was performed against third-party systems.
Limit of case CERTFR-2026-AVI-1011: this analysis replaces neither vendor prerequisites nor investigation of your logs. Only documented versions are reproduced; no attack date or victim is invented.
Questions specific to this case
Which condition should be checked for MOVEit WAF?
