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-2014-1426 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ubuntu maas. 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-2014-1426/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-1426/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-1426","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-1426/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-1426","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8cwf-xm55-w837"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ubuntu MAAS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can download any file from Ubuntu MAAS due to missing owner checks in the file retrieval API.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"metal_as_a_service","vendor":"canonical"}],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"A vulnerability in maasserver.api.get_file_by_name of Ubuntu MAAS allows unauthenticated network clients to download any file.
