Managed file transfer (MFT) appliances provide governed, audited file exchange between organizations, which means they are internet-facing and hold large volumes of sensitive data. That combination has made them a prime target: a single pre-authentication flaw in an MFT product yields the data of every organization running it. Attacks center on authentication bypass, injection to code execution, and the named product exploit chains.
