PROGRESS Software has issued an urgent advisory to customers of its ShareFile Storage Zone, urging them to immediately shut down internet-facing Windows servers due to a credible external security threat. This warning came in an email sent on July 10, stating that access would be temporarily disabled to ensure data safety. The threat reportedly does not indicate any unauthorized access to ShareFile accounts or data at this time, but emphasizes the necessity for customers to take manual shutdown actions.
Previously, similar security issues had arisen, including an exploited vulnerability in 2023. The specific details of the current threat remain undisclosed.
