    Value of cveMetadata.datePublished for the Progress-assigned record, which accompanied Progress's 'WhatsUp Gold Security Bulletin June 2024'. The bulletin itself (https://community.progress.com/s/article/WhatsUp-Gold-Security-Bulletin-June-2024) renders only with JavaScript and its Wayback snapshots show a loading error, so it cannot be quoted. Coordinated disclosure; exploitation reports came later.

    In WhatsUp Gold versions released before 2023.1.3, an unauthenticated Remote Code Execution vulnerability in Progress WhatsUpGold.

    Upper bound: fixed builds may have shipped earlier. the record names 2023.1.3 as the first unaffected release; we could not retrieve a dated release note for 2023.1.3, so the record's publication time is used.

    Single product line; the record lists affected versions 2023.1.0 up to (not including) 2023.1.3, so 2023.1.3 is the fix for all. Upper bound, as for patch_first.

  • Progress WhatsUp Gold before 2023.1.3
How we built this timeline

Old bug added to KEV months after the fix (KEV 3 Mar 2025). Weakly sourced: Progress's bulletin is a JavaScript-only Salesforce page, so all moments rest on the Progress-assigned CVE record; reviewers with a browser should confirm the bulletin date (June 2024) and the 2023.1.3 release date.

R2 (correction pass 23 Oct 2026): no dated 2023.1.3 release note was found (searches and Wayback captures of the bulletin show only a JavaScript loading page), so the patch moments stay at the CVE record's publication time with an explicit upper-bound note; any earlier date would not change exposure (world is the same record) or exploited before a fix (exploitation reports start August 2024). exploited before a fix=false: we found no report of exploitation before the June 2024 fix. CVSS 9.8 is Progress's CNA score.
