An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-2355 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: GE Proficy HMI/SCADA–CIMPLICITY. 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-2014-2355/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-2355/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-2355","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-2355/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-2355","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rhgq-mf3j-hc7r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SCADA HMI software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can gain privileges by tricking users into opening a crafted CIMPLICITY screen file in GE Proficy HMI/SCADA.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"intelligent_platforms_proficy_hmi\\/scada_cimplicity","vendor":"ge"}],"cvss":{"score":6.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The (1) CimView and (2) CimEdit components in GE Proficy HMI/SCADA-CIMPLICITY 8.2 and earlier allow remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted CIMPLICITY screen (aka .CIM) file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"GE Proficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY CimView","id":"CVE-2014-2355","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Innominate mGuard Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor","id":"CVE-2014-2356"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cogent DataHub Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort","id":"CVE-2014-2354"},"products":["Proficy HMI/SCADA–CIMPLICITY"],"published":"2015-01-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-2785","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-07-31"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-0654","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-27"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in GE CIMPLICITY","id":"CVE-2017-12732","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-05"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-0653","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-27"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4689","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-17"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-03","vendors":["GE"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can gain privileges by tricking users into opening a crafted CIMPLICITY screen file in GE Proficy HMI/SCADA.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-2355/"}
