Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2014-2849 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2014-2849/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-2849/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-2849","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-2849/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-2849","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v7px-vmjj-q9rw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Sophos Web Appliance","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can change the admin password via a crafted request, leading to privilege escalation and account takeover.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"web_appliance","vendor":"sophos"},{"product":"web_appliance_firmware","vendor":"sophos"}],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The Change Password dialog box (change_password) in Sophos Web Appliance before 3.8.2 allows remote authenticated users to change the admin user password via a crafted request.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2014-04-08","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2014-04-08","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/http/sophos_wpa_iface_exec","stars":null,"title":"Sophos Web Protection Appliance Interface Authenticated Arbitrary Command Execution"},{"date":"2014-04-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"32789","stars":null,"title":"Sophos Web Protection Appliance Interface - (Authenticated) Arbitrary Command Execution (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2849","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2850"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2848"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-04-11","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Sophos Web Appliance Command Injection","id":"CVE-2023-1671","kev_date_added":"2023-11-16","published":"2023-04-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6182","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-30"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-2642","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-18"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2850","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-04-11"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6412","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-30"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Command injection in Sophos Web Appliance","id":"CVE-2022-4934","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-04"}],"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":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can change the admin password via a crafted request, leading to privilege escalation and account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-2849/"}
