An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-0166 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Wordpress Wordpress. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-0166/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-0166/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-0166","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-0166/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-0166","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-0166","GHSA-jg4j-hqh7-5qcx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress CMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access by forging cookies due to improper validation in WordPress.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"wordpress","vendor":"wordpress"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"The wp_validate_auth_cookie function in wp-includes/pluggable.php in WordPress before 3.7.2 and 3.8.x before 3.8.2 does not properly determine the validity of authentication cookies, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a forged cookie.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2014-04-26","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":5,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2014-04-26T10:14:44Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Ettack/POC-CVE-2014-0166","stars":5,"title":"POC of CVE-2014-0166 (WordPress cookie forgery vulnerability)"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0166","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"wordpress:wordpress","products":["wordpress:wordpress"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"OpenStack Compute (Nova) allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via API requests","id":"CVE-2014-0167"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0165"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-04-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WordPress Core Interpretation Conflict","id":"CVE-2026-63030","kev_date_added":"2026-07-21","published":"2026-07-17"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"WordPress Core Remote File Inclusion","id":"CVE-2026-87902","kev_date_added":"2026-09-25","published":"2026-09-22"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress Core SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2026-60137","kev_date_added":"2026-07-21","published":"2026-07-17"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2399","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-04-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2400","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-04-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3122","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-08-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3125","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-08-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access by forging cookies due to improper validation in WordPress.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-0166/"}
