What is CVE-2025-3871?

A security gap in Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT prior to version 7.8.1 allows attackers to create denial of service conditions specifically when GoAnywhere One-Time Password (GOTP) is configured for email-based two-factor authentication (2FA) and no email address is assigned. In such cases, an attacker could input the email address of a legitimate user, leading to potential account authentication issues if that user has GOTP set up.

Affected Version(s)

GoAnywhere MFT 0 < 7.8.1
