An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2014-4123 in the wild since at least 25 May 2022.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Internet Explorer. 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-2014-4123/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4123/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-4123","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4123/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-4123","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5xv2-v332-c8c2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Internet Explorer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can gain elevated privileges via a crafted website in Internet Explorer, requiring users to apply security patches.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"internet_explorer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 through 11 allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted web site, aka \"Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability,\" as exploited in the wild in October 2014, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-4124.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2014-4123","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-05-25","dueDate":"2022-06-15","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Internet Explorer","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Privilege Escalation Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:internet_explorer","products":["microsoft:internet_explorer"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4124"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4122"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-10-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2014-1776","kev_date_added":"2022-01-28","published":"2014-04-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-27085","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-0222","kev_date_added":"2022-02-25","published":"2017-05-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2017-0210","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-04-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2017-0149","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-03-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2502","kev_date_added":"2022-04-13","published":"2015-08-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2419","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-07-14"}],"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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-22","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can gain elevated privileges via a crafted website in Internet Explorer, requiring users to apply security patches.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4123/"}
