Progress Software Warns of “External Security Threat” to ShareFile

Progress Software disclosed an external security threat targeting ShareFile Storage Zone Controllers on 10 July, temporarily disabling access to affected accounts while stating there is no confirmed evidence of unauthorised data access. The disclosure signals potential vulnerability in a widely-deployed enterprise file-sharing platform used by thousands of companies. If you build on top of ShareFile or rely on it for customer data storage, your platform's security posture just became a liability—your customers will now demand audit logs and alternative storage options. This is your window to replace Progress as their storage layer.
